- Creating Configurations Manually
To create a configuration manually, you specify its properties, then modify the model to create variations in the new configuration.
- Editing Configurations
When you edit an existing configuration, you can modify the model, change configuration properties, and suppress or unsuppress features or components.
- Configuration Properties PropertyManager
You can specify configuration properties such as name and description, as well as BOM options and other advanced options.
- CAD Family Objects
You can create physical products and representations for CAD Family objects for the 3DEXPERIENCE platform.
- Creating a Single Physical Product
In the Design with SOLIDWORKS app, you can use Remove CAD Family to designate a part or an assembly as a single physical product.
- Physical Product Properties PropertyManager
You can specify configuration properties such as name, description, and BOM options in the ConfigurationManager: CAD Family tab.
- Representation PropertyManager
You can create a representation of a physical product in the ConfigurationManager: CAD Family tab. Representations share a part number with the parent physical product.
- Show Component Configuration Names
You can display component configuration names in the FeatureManager design tree.
- Show Component Configuration Descriptions
You can display component configuration descriptions in the FeatureManager design tree in part, assembly, and drawing documents and in the ConfigurationManager of parts and assemblies.
- Show Configuration Descriptions
In part or assembly documents, you can display configuration descriptions in the ConfigurationManager tab.
- Examples - Child Component Display Properties
These examples show how you can override BOM Type settings by using Child component display when used as a subassembly.
- Specify Configurations Dialog Box
In a model with multiple configurations, you can specify the configurations to which you want to apply changes.
