Question from Jacob:  Do you have to have options modeler license to view the configurations, or only to create them?  Trying to understand how many licenses we would need to use this in our organization.

WEBCAST Q&A

Question from John:  Is this kind of like a fancier simplified reps tool?

Answer:  Simplified Reps are used during the design process to be more efficient while designing a product (faster access to relevant design data a given time).

Options modeler is used to create variant designs that will be sold to a customer.

Question from John:  Can you change parameters via this tool, like a part length or the like?

Answer:  Not in this tool today

Question from John:  Or also have things change dynamically based on the number of other items selected?

Answer:  Not currently.
