Read the first 7 Creating and Modifying Configurations flashcards as text

  1. Which keyboard shortcut opens the ConfigurationManager tab in the SolidWorks task pane area?

    Answer: There is no keyboard shortcut; you must click the tab

    There is no default keyboard shortcut to open the ConfigurationManager — you click its tab icon in the manager panel.

  2. What does the 'Explode Step' in an assembly configuration define?

    Answer: The sequence and direction of component movements in an explode animation

    Explode Steps define the order and direction of component movements when animating an exploded view in that configuration.

  3. When you use 'Save Configurations' in a design table, what file format is produced?

    Answer: An embedded Excel OLE object within the SolidWorks file

    Design tables are stored as embedded OLE Excel objects inside the SolidWorks part or assembly file, not as separate external files.

  4. In SolidWorks, which configuration state allows a component in an assembly to be visible but excluded from the BOM and mass properties?

    Answer: Envelope

    Envelope components are visible for reference but excluded from BOMs, mass calculations, and interference detection.

  5. If a design table cell is left blank for a dimension parameter, what value does SolidWorks use for that configuration?

    Answer: The current model value at the time the table was created

    A blank cell in a design table causes SolidWorks to use the model value that existed when the design table was inserted or last generated.

  6. Which SolidWorks tool lets an administrator publish a part so end users can only configure pre-defined parameter options via a simplified dialog?

    Answer: Configuration Publisher

    Configuration Publisher creates a user-friendly dialog exposing only selected parameters with controlled input types, hiding the full design table from end users.

  7. What is the recommended way to update a design table after manually adding new features to a part?

    Answer: Open the design table and add new column headers for the new features

    You open the embedded design table and add column headers for new features or dimensions to include them in configuration control.
