Know the deleted (or not) state of a component

3D Design Volume Model

Hello

 

In an assembly with multiple configurations:

Components are in the deleted (or not) state depending on the configurations. Configurations are not managed by a table.

How can I know the deleted (or not) state of a component in each configuration.

The basic solution is of course to activate the configurations one by one to see the status of the component but it's a bit long.

Is there another faster way?

 

Thank you.

Hello

 

If it's for a particular component, right-clicking on the component in the tree, and configuring the component is enough!

SolidWorks displays a table for this component based on configurations:

And the 1st column indicates if it is deleted:

Otherwise, you can also insert an automatic part family, which will summarize everything in an Excel table:

Lucas' two solutions are very good: nothing to add

Right-click on the "Configure Component" component. You can also manage component configurations according to assembly configurations and much more here.

 

This mini configuration table obtained can be saved to be reused later (at the bottom of the window).

 

EDIT: like @Lucas...

Perfect

 

Indeed, open a table on the component and you're done.

 

Thanks for the quick response!

Hello

Like Lucas: right-click configure the component. It also works with constraints, functions... and you can select several at the same time.
