IMPORTANT: If you accidentally click outside the Excel spreadsheet, this

is what will happen: you may be told that a configuration was created, or

to editing the design table, go to the ConfigurationManager, expand the "Tables"

folder, make a right-mouse-click in the "Design Table," and select "Edit Table." This

will get you back to editing the design table embedded in Excel.

model with the middle-mouse-button, or pan around with Ctrl + middle-mouse-

button.

Making a left or right mouse click anywhere outside of the Excel window or

Configurable parameters are listed in the second row starting at the second

column, and configuration names are listed in the first column starting in the third

row. Here is a list of some of the most commonly configured parameters in a part:
