Design Table not updating configuration

[benman]

I have an assembly which is driven by several equations, which are in turn suppressed/unsuppressed by a design table.

When I switch between configurations, the design table is not automatically suppressing/unsuppressing all of the equations as desired. I have to open the design table and close it again to make the assembly 'wakes up' and rebuilds correctly.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?

What version & sp of SW?

I believe the bi-directionality of a design table was a new feature for 2003.

I have never had great success with design tables in combination with Equations. I usually dont have problems with design tables or equations alone but when the two mix strange things happen sometimes. I have not tried to combine the two since SW01 so I can only speak for older versions.

First thing I would look at is the design table, make sure there are no empty columns or rows, that kills the design table and anything after an empty column or row is ignored.

Thanks guys. I'm using Solidworks 2005 SP0.

I cant see any problems with the design table, its pretty straight forward stuff in there. It just suppresses/unsuppresses equations and parts (show/hide). Its all things that I could do manually for each configuration, but I was just trying to save time by doing a DT.
