Suppressing a component in another configuration

Suppressing a component in another configuration

Suppressing a component in another configuration

(OP)
This is simple - simple, simple.  I'm just looking for an alternate solution.  I have an assembly that contains many parts, and in one configuration, some parts are suppressed, in another they are there.  But every time, I go to the alternate configuration, the parts are either suppressed, or not, depending on what I did last.  (I assume I'm getting confused somehow, but can't 'for the life of me' figure what's going on.)

RE: Suppressing a component in another configuration

Are you using a DT or doing the configs manually?

A DT is the better method.

RE: Suppressing a component in another configuration

(OP)
Yup.  You're right.  I wasn't using a design table.  Old habits die hard.

RE: Suppressing a component in another configuration

DT much more stable.  I've all but forgotten how to do otherwise.

RE: Suppressing a component in another configuration

You don't need a DT, but you should check the properties of the part and make sure you have "used named configuration" set on.

A DT just gives you a better understanding of what it is you are setting up per config, otherwise you have to actually use your brain to figure out what is what smile... I agree I would rather use a DT.

Regards.
