Parts configurator

Hello
I would like to be able to create a model assembly: a tube and a plate to create a pipe support.
When inserting this assembly into a parent assembly, is it possible to tell it to create a new configuration automatically so that it can create multiple supports on the fly, with different tube and board dimensions?

thank you in advance
Cédric

Hello;
Yes, it is possible using the Configuration-Publisher
https://help.solidworks.com/2021/french/SolidWorks/sldworks/c_configuration_publisher_top.htm

You will be able to assign fixed values as well as free or limited variable values.
For a configurable assembly, you will need to create configurable parts.
Be careful not to put your files in read-only...

Kind regards

Thanks for the quick response!
I didn't know the Configuration Publisher, it's great. I'll have fun with it and see how it turns out
Have a nice day

Hello
Configuration-Publisher works very well for this case with one inconvenience, and I find that every time you slide a part, it will ask the question of what you want.
So if you slip 10 x the same configuration you will still have 10x the question.
may the force be with you.
