Creating a Product Table

1. Open your assembly.
2. From the Tools section of the action bar, click Create Product Table .
3. Click Yes to create an xls file or No to create a txt file.
4. Click OK in the Engineering Document dialog box.
5. Click a product in the tree to add a column to the product table.
   Note: The columns can only drive the activity of a product instance, a parameter or the component of a family.
6. Click Parameter to select a parameter and thus to create another column.
   Note: You can alternatively click a parameter in the tree.
7. In the Choose the parameter dialog box, select the parameter and click OK.
   Note: A parameter driven by the column of a product table gets the value of the column and of the applied row.
8. Click New row to add a row to the table.
   Note: When clicking New row, true appears in the cell: It is the default activity of the product instance. You can set it to false by clicking the cell and editing it. If you clicked Apply Row, and if the cell is set to false, the product instance is deactivated and does not appear in the assembly nor in the tree.
9. Modify the values by editing the cells.
   Notes:

   • Before editing the cell, click the Edit cells check box. By default, this option is checked when creating a product table to define cells values but it is cleared when editing an existing product table.
   • Edit sheet displays a view of the product table depending on the type (.xls or .txt) of file associated with the product table. After saving the sheet, all modifications are taken into account in the product table: You can modify a cell, add, move or remove a row or a column. You cannot remove the first column nor the first row because they define the identifiers of the rows and the column titles.
10. Click New row to add a new row.
11. Click an item in the tree to associate an object to the column.
12. Fill-in the row of your product table by editing the cells.

Your product table is created.

Once the rows are added, you can select one and click Apply row to modify the assembly by applying the values of the row. Product instances are activated/deactivated, parameters are modified and components of families are replaced.
