Changing configurations in drawings
Changing configurations in drawings
(OP)
When I change the configuration that is referenced in a drawing only that specific view changes, I thought that any dependent views would change also, but they don't. It makes it an easy way to end up with one configuration in the top view and a different configuration in an auxillary view. Is there a setting that I'm missing or is that just the way it is? I'm running SW2005 SP3.
Thanks,

RE: Changing configurations in drawings
Each view is controlled in the properties as to which Configuration it follows if you have "Used name configuration set" Which is set by default when you place a model into a drawing with Configs
If you select "Use models "in use" or last saved configuration" will update the view(s) to reflect what configuration the model is in presently.

RE: Changing configurations in drawings
So there is no way to make an auxiliary or a projected view follow the configuration of the view they are taken off of? We have quite a few drawings that need to have a different configuration shown, but when the main view (all the other views on the sheet are auxiliary or projected from the main view) is changed none of the others go with it so we have to do a properties on each view and change the config. Makes it easy to end up with views not showing the same configs. I was hoping it could be easier.
Thanks,

That must be a setting somewhere, because my SW2005 doesn't work that way. I can insert drawings into a new drawing make projected views off of it, then change the config of the view1 and the other 2 are still at the original config.
