Configuration Study

Unread post by m2shell »

Is there a way to compare configurations on a part, so I can see what Features are suppressed / active for each configuration?

It could be useful for preparing shop drawings so I can create a "master 'part" that many other configurations are derived from.

Insert a Design Table and choose the "Auto Create" option. It will automatically add every feature/dimension/etc. that varies across configs. You can delete the design table afterward if you don't want to keep it.

If you select all the wanted features on the feature tree (hold CTRL) > RMB > Configure feature you get a table where you can see where each feature is suppressed or be able to suppress/unsuppress feature on each configuration. That table work like an excel spreadsheet (copy/paste, fill by dragging the little square spot)

I have to say it has been years since I needed to use Design Tables, but I'm in it now. Useful as heck.

Wow.

I use them on almost every part/assembly.

Would love.love.love if drawings had configurations.

Revision management would then be a piece of cake....
