Hello Mika,Just editing the configuration parameters via table.
I now tested and you are correct.As far as I can see Wizogrid doesn't currently offer access to any config other than the currently active configuration (or I've missed something).
That's exactly what the new v22 dynamic library does!Now IF a design table could be used to create a new part based on some new parameters and then SAVED AS a new part number that would be nice -- but isn't that what the Global Parameter file does?
Yes that is true and I suppose that may have been the original intent of configurations but, as I stated, our design guide at work did not allow for that. Our system only allowed for one part number per drawing. That way we didn't have to deal with tabulated drawings especially with purchased items. And, if I recall correctly, our PDM system (Enovia, another Dassault piece of work) could not handle part numbers assigned to configurations very cleanly, too many files got connected to the configured part while maintaining all relationships. I wasn't the brains behind the system, I just had to learn how to work with it and maintain clean files when checked in at job completion.Each configuration really have possibility to give different part numbers.
Yes, Now it does in v22. But for a while we had a linked Excel spreadsheet then the Global Parameters File (which can drive complete designs), and now in v22 the dynamic library. (Is there a trend working here?) Would be nice for Alibre to also come out with a decent PDM system to go along with all the part creation tools.That's exactly what the new v22 dynamic library does!
