What I want to do is the following:
For example if have a file for a 2" diameter rod with several configurations for diferent length values.And I want to include them in the drawing as a table like this:

Config. Name Description Material

Configuration_1 Rod 2"Diam X 3" Steel
Configuration_2 Rod 2"Diam X 4" SSteel

The description and material should be properties for each configuration.
I tried this with a design table, but the size in the drawing, and positioning is unpredictable; every time I regenerate the drawing, it change size and position (I want the family table in the same place of my drawing template). And the font size is not tha same as in the desig table in the part.
Is there any way to make a BOM for configurations??
I will appreciate your help, I really need to automate this to make less work.
Thanks
