In this tutorial, we'll be creating a catalogue of parts from our design table that we made in the previous tutorial. If you'd like to design the part first, please refer to the previous tutorial, otherwise you could use any other part that has a design table.
In a design table you have one part and many different dimensions for that one part stored in an Excel sheet or a text document. So, basically, you only have to design one part and you can create as many different variations as you like and document them in a catalogue so that you can reference any of them with just a few clicks.

This tutorial will show you how to create a simple design table linked to a CATPart. Design tables are used to drive parameters in Catia from either a Microsoft Excel sheet or a text document. Once that is achieved, we are then able to catalogue the different configurations to be used in a design, but we'll cover that in a later tutorial.

The benefits of 3D, and Catia specifically, are endless! Working with Catia gives you the power to design correctly the first time around. Some companies are still stuck in the primitive way of doing things and are paying dearly for it. Yes, Catia costs money. Yes, Catia calls for a bit of training and/or expertise, but what price are you willing to pay to be able to eliminate potential design flaws before they manifest? Being from the automotive industry where parts are always due yesterday, design errors are costly. They cost money and, more importantly, they cost time.
