To create a table in PilotAssembly, a 3D document must be open in SOLIDWORKS.

Let's take this assembly as an example:

 

First, we will retrieve all the information from this document by clicking on the " " button.Building the table" .

 

The appearance of each line corresponds to the settings specified in the display options.

Above is a detail of the recovery data for the " flat washer regylar_arm " component (this view is displayed by clicking " +"):


Explanation of the line colors:

  • Information displayed in "gray" reflects the file properties, if requested and configured in the display options.
  • Information marked in "Yellow" indicates the retrieval of parts, if requested and configured in the display options.
  • Information displayed in " Light Blue " corresponds to the retrieval of assemblies, if requested and configured in the display options.
  • Information displayed in " Cyan Blue " corresponds to the retrieval of assembly constraints, if requested and configured in the visual options.
  • Etc. ...


For each piece of retrieved information, you can interact with it based on the column names:


 

This column lists all the information retrieved from the assembly.

This column lists the type of information retrieved: part component, assembly component, property, dimension, constraint, function, etc.

This column lists and manages the "Visible" or "Not visible" status of components.

This column lists and manages the "Resolved" or "Deleted" status of a component in an assembly, or of a function in a part.

This column can be used to control assembly constraint dimensions, function dimensions, component identifiers, etc...

This column is used to control component configurations (parts and assemblies).

This column is used to select the lines to be rebuilt (YES or NO).


You can save the default entity display options (see "Save").

If a table has already been created, if you click on the "Building the table" this will have the effect of recreating a table and therefore reinitializing any cells you may have modified.
