Tables and Body/Moves

I'm wondering if anyone can help me? Is it possible to control the translate and rotate parameters under the body/move command in a mulibodies part file? I have found that you can control the constraint parameters for a body/move command because those constraints become listed under the body/move feature in the feature tree.

The only alternative I seem to have is to create circular patterns of the bodies and control them thru the table. But in the end I would have to delete the seed components that I no longer want in that position.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use this solution Re: Can move command have different distances in different configurations?

And then control the value via design table.

  Thanks Deepak,
  
  I understand that you can control the constraints parameters of the move body command, but it seems that you cannot control the translation and rotation aspects of it. You can't assign values to those parameters.
  
  What I am trying to accomplish are different rotations for different configurations. The constraints do not satisfy what I would like to accomplish. The only work around I have come up with is creating a circular pattern and controlling the angle from a table. But then I have to use a delete body command to get rid of the seed that i do not wish to have.
  
  Maybe its a limitation of solidworks for controlling the rotation and translation of body moves. If anyone knows of an easier way other than what I have tried it would be greatly appreciated.
