Change the configuration of a part in an assembly via Part Family

Hello

Question: How do I change the configuration of a part in an assembly through the Part Family?

In my assembly I have a fixed part and 4 parts (from the same file, so they are the same) with different configurations. I would like to be able to control these configurations through the family of parts. Of course, each configuration has a different name, so I guess you just need a little formula to put in the header and the name of the configurations underneath.

Listening,

I think you just have to change the part with the appropriate part

Column header = $CONFIGURATION@part name

Then in this column you only put the name of the config

FYI, when you don't know the name to use, just make one or 2 variants manually and then automatically create your part family and then you will see the name to use. Here as already said MAGNIN. P is $CONFIGURATION@ name of the piece.

I take advantage of the question:
Is there a list of these keywords to use in family table headers in the help?

Thank you for your answers. Yes, that was it, sbadenis, but I have no idea what to do. And thanks also to stefbeno and olivier42 for your question/answer which could also have been one of my future questions but I wouldn't need to ask it.
