I have an assembly with about 1700 configurations. I ran into some stability problems with this assembly, so I decided to break it up into 4 or 5 separate assemblies. Ideally I could do a Save As Copy five times and then edit each assembly's design table. If I do this and remove configurations Solidworks will ask me "Configuration xxxxx is not in the design table. Delete it?" and I have to click Yes. There is no "Yes to all" checkbox and it ends up needing to be clicked hundreds of times.
My next try was deleting them all from the configuration tree before editing the design table. This works, so I wrote a macro to select and delete all the configurations. Unfortunately, it looks like even this method takes FOREVER to run (I think because it deletes each configuration one at a time).
So my question is, what is the quickest way to wipe out 1700 configurations?
