In an assembly, what does 'Suppress' do to a component in a specific configuration?
Answer: Unloads the component from memory and excludes it from calculations
Suppressing a component in an assembly configuration unloads it from memory, excluding it from mass properties and interference checks.
Which command is used to quickly show all configurations of a part in a SolidWorks drawing using a table format?
Answer: Design Table
A Design Table can be inserted into a drawing to display all configuration parameter values in a tabular format.
When you right-click a configuration in the ConfigurationManager and choose 'Properties', which setting controls whether the configuration appears in the bill of materials?
Answer: Bill of Materials Options
The Bill of Materials Options setting in Configuration Properties controls how (or whether) the configuration appears in a BOM.
What is the purpose of the $PRP@ column header syntax in a SolidWorks design table?
Answer: It links to a custom property value for each configuration
The $PRP@ syntax in a design table allows you to set custom property values per configuration row.
If you modify a dimension while a non-default configuration is active and choose 'This Configuration', what is the result?
Answer: The change applies only to the currently active configuration
Choosing 'This Configuration' when modifying a dimension restricts the change to only the currently active configuration.
In a derived configuration, which property is always inherited from the parent by default?
Answer: All feature suppression states not explicitly overridden
Derived configurations inherit all feature suppression states from their parent unless explicitly changed in the child.
Which SolidWorks feature allows you to drive configurations using equations instead of a design table?
Answer: Global Variables and Equations
Global Variables and Equations allow dimension values to be driven mathematically, which can be scoped to specific configurations.
