(Ooh, really bad pun.)
While changing a variety of parameters based on a table would be one way to do it, you could also create multiple configurations of the same part. I'm not as well versed in SolidWorks as I am in Inventor, but I believe this is the way that professionally modeled parts (like screws, etc.) are given multiple sizes.
