To create a table,  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.Build the table" .

 

The appearance of each line corresponds to the settings made in the  visual options.

You can see above a recovery detail taken from the '' component.flat washer regylar_arm(this display is obtained by clicking on '')+'') : 


Explanation of line colors :

  • Color information ''Grey'' correspond to the retrieval of file properties, if requested and set in the  visual options.
  • Color information ''YellowThe '' button is used to retrieve parts, if requested and set in the  visual options.
  • Color information ''Light blue'' correspond to the recovery of assemblies, if requested and set in the  visual options.
  • Color information ''Cyan blue'' correspond to the recovery of assembly constraints, if requested and parameterized in the  visual options.
  • Etc ...


For each piece of information retrieved, it is possible to interact according to 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 is 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 reading options (see  Save).

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