Missing “Automatic Configuration Table” Behavior in SolidWorks 2023

 

Hi everyone,

I’m currently working in SolidWorks 2023 and I’m trying to use a Table to manage multiple configurations in part files. In previous versions, SolidWorks was able to automatically generate or update a configuration table when new configurations were added.

In SW2023, this behavior seems to be missing.

Here’s the issue:

  • When I create a new configuration, no configuration Table is created automatically.
  • I don’t want to use Excel-based tables. I want an embedded configuration table.
  • I also need the table to list all parameters that vary between configurations (dimensions and suppression states), as it did in earlier versions.

So my questions are:

  1. Has the “automatic configuration table” feature been removed or relocated in SolidWorks 2023?
  2. Is there a setting or workflow I’m missing that would allow SolidWorks to auto-populate the embedded table when configurations are added?
  3. If the feature was removed, is there any recommended workaround that doesn’t involve Excel or custom macros?

Thanks in advance for any insights. I’d like to understand whether this is a change in the software or a configuration issue on my sideConfigurations/design TablesGeneral2023auto
