Following procedure has explained below to create a Design Table

For purpose of creation of Design Table in a part model, here we are takingSHAFT.catpart as a sample model from Sample_Design_Table folder, as shownBelow the image.

Now in this Shaft we have kept drive parameters as Shaft_Length (i.e. First limit ofPad.1) and Shaft_Radius (i.e. Radius of Sketch.1) as displayed Under Parameter

Node in Specification Tree.

Here we have created some relation for other Parameters in this model with respect tothis Shaft_ Length and Shaft_Radius to drive complete Shaft (we can also keep oneor more drive parameters).

Association of New Parameters in Design Table

Now if we required inserting one or more new parameters in this Design Table thenopen the DesignTable_Shaft.Xls file from its saved location and edit it by adding newparameter by required name in the same row field without keeping any gape in thecolumn field. Save the file and exit.

As shown below is the image.

Now go to part file, double on design table to open it.

Click on the Association Option.

The newly added parameters are displayed in columns field.

First select the feature (CircPattern.1) from specification tree; so Parameter columnfield will displayed the Parameters of selected feature under Parameters field.
