Assembly configurations
Assembly configurations
(OP)
I'm using SW2000. I have created a Cabinet assy with positions for 4 different size drawers which are called in as separate sub-assemblies. The drawer front sizes are controlled by a Design table within the drawer assembly. I then create the drawer parts using on edge relations.
Calling the different configurations from the drawer assy works fine and they all update OK. However, when I instance these different configs into the main Cabinet assy they do not update correctly and all change to the current config. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? or is there a bug in SW2000?

RE: Assembly configurations
If that doesn't answer your question, try explaining it again. your statement is hard to follow.

RE: Assembly configurations
I don't understand why the Main assembly won't recognise the different sizes of a sub assembly configuration.
Any suggestions as to what I can do other than save the sub assemblies separately?
RE: Assembly configurations
e.g. - $CONFIGURATION@partname<X>:
Configuration is the keyword used to tell the DT to use Configuration
Partname = the files name
<X> = The instance in the assembly
You have to have your sub-assemblies setup with all the different sizes prior to putting them or controlling them in the main assembly.
