6.1.8. Vertical table

Click on the Vertical view [Vertical Mode] button to list all variables one below the other.

Specify selection using an example

  1. Open for example, a block cylinder. First of all, all variables are connected with the Pen icon marked as editable.

  2. For variable D, piston diameter, open the list field and select the value 80, for example.

    → variable D now receives the Filter symbol .

    → variable D1 is given the checkmark . It was determined indirectly by variable D .

    → The other Variables still show the pencil symbol , i.e. they have yet to be determined.

    In this example, only value range variables are involved. In Horizontal view [Horizontal Mode], you can recognize this by the fact that there is only one table row = 1 configurable product.

  3. Adjust the stroke of the cylinder, for example.

  4. Adjust the design of the cylinder, for example.

The different icons at a glance

Icon Meaning

Fixed value

The variable contains a fixed value that cannot be changed.

Several values are available for selection.

After clicking, either a slider is displayed (variable with an indefinite number of options) or a list field with a specific number of values.

If no number of values is displayed, this is a value range with an indefinite number of options. In these cases, a slider is displayed after clicking.

If you select a value in the list field, the following happens:

  1. The modified variable itself shows now the filter icon.

  2. The following happens with dependent variables:

    1. If only a single value is possible, the icon with the checkmark displayed.

    2. If there are still several options, or will still be displayed.

  3. Some components have value range variables [Value range variables]. No fixed value is created for these. All value ranges must also be defined in order to clearly determine the specific characteristic.

    Value range variables cannot be can be filtered. Even after a certain selection , the pencil icon displayed.

    The value range selection can be displayed in different ways depending on the component specifications, see below.

Filtered. Filtered variables restrict other selections.

  • You have the option to remove the filter again. To do this, move the mouse over the icon.

    → The icon changes . If you click now, it will appear again the original pencil symbol .

  • Other variable values specified by the filter to a unique value the check mark symbol .

Selection completed, there is only one possible value left

This does not mean that there is no change in the more can be done. However, the choice of a new value, all selections made anew. The variable now receives the filter icon .

Example: The value of the variable GR is changed from 6 to 3.

Click on the value or the checkmark to open the list field.

Click on the value or the checkmark to open the list field.

New selection "3"

Example without value range variables

  1. Filter variable "B".

    The figure shows a filtered variable "B".

    The figure shows a filtered variable "B".

    → This indirectly co-determines the variables "D" and "S". For the other variables, it is still possible to choose from several values.

  2. For example, determine variable AD.

    → As a result, all other variables are now also determined indirectly.

Examples with value range variables

Some components have value range variables [Value range variables]. No fixed value is created for these.

  • Value range: Enter a desired value within the value range in the input field or select the value using the slider. (Or select one of the discrete values.)

  • Selecting discrete values: Open the value range by clicking on the pencil icon and then select the desired option from the list box.

  • Selection of discrete values with preview images:

    Graphics can also be displayed to clarify the selection options in value range fields. Select the desired option.
