Improving Configurations

Nov 14, 2006 3 Replies

I still use 2006, and often make maybe 5-10 configurations of a part which has optional features, and in the part solid, there are times when I finish and everything is OK (no Red) and I go to the assembly, and the part then has an error.



The worst offender seems to be a sketch which is in a Supressed feature, which turns 'On' (but not the Feature made from the sketch). Once I Supress the erant Sketch, all is well, though sometimes it does the same thing over again.



Anyone else see this?



Anyone know why it happens?



Am I mistaken, or do configurations need a bit more work?



Thanks - Bo



Think my Subject needs to be more descriptive, so...There it is.

Thanks - Bo

When you create the configuration what are the settings in the config property manager?

Did you try making a design table. If there are differences and you autopopulate you will get STATE changes from S to R for various features. You can then use the table to drive them the way you want them.
