Hi Everyone,

I've saved a copy of a toolbox screw part and created different sizes/configurations using a design table.

When inserting the screw part into an assembly I'd like the solidworks interface to prompt and ask which screw size I would like to insert.

Picture 1 shows the inserted toolbox part which mates correctly, however just inserts the last saved configuration.

Picture 2 shows me inserting a regular part which brings up the prompt box.

Picture 3 shows the tree with different symbols for toolbox and a regular part.

My question is do I need to somehow convert the toolbox part to a regular part for this to work? and if so how?

Thanks for you time.

Ryan
