Drop down pick list box
Drop down pick list box
(OP)
Good Morning all,
New guy here. I have a design table for different for the same product in different sizes. I want to make a selection drop down box to access the choices in the design table. The choices activate a rule making the changes in the part. I think this would be VBA but can't seem to find any specifics.
Thanks in advance

Create a string parameter.
Create your design table with this parameter as the first selection.
Then add all the other values you want on the table.
edit the table as needed.
That's it.
When you change the parameters value, the design table values for that item are applied.
The rest of your post seemed more like a statement; so, I didn't go any further for fear that it would muddy the waters.

I have that part working as a parameter. I want to create a drop down box, or radio button, to access that parameter. The button drop down would show the choices in the available in design table.

If so, then you could write a Reaction that triggers OnValueChange.
And the Reaction could read the parameter's value and apply that configuration to the model
(ex: oDesignTable.Configuration = 3)
But, I don't see how you will keep the parameter up to date automatically if you need to add a configuration to the table later.

The Reaction will wait until the value of the pull down menu changes.
When it does, the Reaction will read the value of the pull down menu and apply that DT configuration to the part.
If it doesn't absolutely have to be a drop down menu (you made mention that a radio button layout would be acceptable) then my first suggestion would work as well.
