Different configuration in one file?
Different configuration in one file?
(OP)
Is it possible to make a part - a gear for example - that has two different configurations in one file:
-a simplified one with only the kinematic diameter (basically a simple cylinder) for the assembly and asm drawings (where full geometry is not needed)
-a fully featured model of the gear for the detailed drawing of the gear and perhaps assembly for rendering purposes
i would like to have both cfgs in one file, like the solidworks configurations option.
but ideally i would like to specify somehow which cfg to use in the drawing (can be done in swx)

As Jagan said, Design tables for this purpose are pa-the-tic as multiple instances with different configurations in a Product are not supported, like seriously!

Each Instance of a Part or Product in an Assemply can have many Associated Representations.
The Default Representation is the representation as defined in the relevant CATPart.
All other representations shall be CATShapes.
I hope it helps.

is it possible to invoke a custom catshape in a drawing for example?
RE: Different configuration in one file?
I'm not sure what you mean by "invoke a custom catshape in a drawing".
If the question is,
"Which representation(s) will be used by the auto-created drawing of the assembly?"
then the answer is as follows:
1.The instance representation which will be used for the auto-creation of the drawing of an assembly is the active representation of the instance at the time of the creation.
2.This means that in the drawing file are stored reference(s) to the instance's active representation.
3.If you go back to the assembly and change active representation(s) the drawing will remain intact.
