Hello
I'm preparing a typical assembly and I'm wondering about the configuration name.
I would like the configuration name to be generated by the contents of the columns in my table.
In the example below, I would like to know if it is possible to " call " the values I entered in the 2 columns " Tube T10 " (Ø Tube and Ep tube) as well as the value D1 in the column " Lg_tambour ".
Is this possible?

Hello and welcome;
Yes, it is quite possible, but you have to edit the part family in an Excel table (right click on the configuration header and then open in a new window).

From there, you have to think about switching the column where the name of the configurations is managed to " Standard " format (the Format is " text " by default when opening the Excel) and now you can use the Excel functions and formulas for your columns.
Be careful, I see that you are using derived configurations, the Excel table will be a little confusing at first but nothing insurmountable.
A few tips: Empty rows or columns
