Alternate 'Assembly' Configuration
Alternate 'Assembly' Configuration
(OP)
Is it possible to have two configurations, 1 an assembly, 1 an individual piece part? (I'm positive it's possible, provided you 'start' the modeling process with an assembly configuration, then suppress and hide as necessary, but is it possible to add an assembly configuration after-the-fact?
(Take, take, take - haven't dished out much information lately.)

Example:
Assembly
Config 1 = Assembly
Config 2 = Part
Is that correct?

Also, it's better to mate to planes instead of features if you do this so you won't lose mates. You can also go to Utilities > Simply > all and make a kinda-simplified configuration of the assembly. I say "kinda" because it doesn't always make the sub-assembly "faster" in the top-level assembly.
