help with parts using design tables please

I've created a part with a design table, and when I look at the various configurations, the small part changes sizes as expected.

However, when I try to use the part, I don't seem to be able to select what configuration I want, as I thought I would be able to. I would like to insert the part into an assembly, and choose the configuration required, and often use more than one configuration of that part in the assembly.

I've looked at the manual and tutorials, and they both tell me how to make the part but not how to use it!

Are you attempting to change the configuration of a part in an assy? As I read your post, I'm not sure this is the case. Take a look at the Help at design tables, configuration parameters - it shows you valid parameters.

If this still doesn't help, come back and explain it a bit differently, or send me the file & I will take a look.

OT: for your info Steffen-t, on your website, the page "schalter.*" needs a small correction:

From:

To:

as the mouseover ALT text is "Kontakt"

Hope that helps :-)
