Re: Configurations and in-context components in SWKS 2004

Mike (and All),



I have to qualify my observation.



The multiple in-context relationships I described did survive the dissolving of the sub-assembly; however, the ability to modify them alternately thereafter (by toggling the active configuration) was only temporary.



Once the top level assembly was saved, closed and reopened, those in-context relationships became "orphaned".

Something that always bugged me is when you double click a feature in a part in your assembly, and you try to edit a dimension, you get that message "Can only edit dimensions in the active configuration". You have to open the part to make a change.

I would have thought this limitation would be eliminated, but I just tried it on Beta2 (not the newer one) and I still get the message.

I haven't had time to install PR1.

Just tried it - same thing on PR1.
