I have made a bolt with size as different configuration so that the same part can be used by choosing required configuration.Problem is part name remains same in feature tree hence cant differentiate which size its.My question is there a way to link part name to configuration name so that part name changes according to the configuration used?Any other ways to differentiate names in feature tree?
Yeah,i noticed that...Yes,that works too...Its better if the name itself is different.Thanks.
How to assign configuration name as description for that respective config part in properties. too many configurations,hence adding manually is not a way.
Use a Design Table - which can be edited in Excel
You mention "part name" but i think you mean Part Number - since "part name" is the file's name and can't be changed on the fly by changing configurations. So, I'm guessing you intend to see the PartNo property value in the tree.
I think you are saying that the instance of your hardware is listed in the Assembly tree by its file name.
You would like it to list by the PartNo property in the Part file.
If so, do this by modifying your Options.
In the General collection, you will find an option about 3/4 of the way down that reads "Custom property used as component description:".
Change that to PartNo.
To show the configuration next to the PartNo value, RMB click on the tree and select Tree Display>Show Configuration Name.
Each Configuration has a name and the configuration name follows the file name
