Save a configuration as a new file?

Save a configuration as a new file?

Save a configuration as a new file?

(OP)
Is there a way to save a configuration to a separate (unassociated) file? Thanks.

RE: Save a configuration as a new file?

Did you create configurations manually, or use a design table to create multiple configurations simultaneously?  If you created the configurations manually then just do a save as copy.  If you created a design table then just run the design table in a new part.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and beat you with experience every time.

RE: Save a configuration as a new file?

Save as a copy, then open, break any references and delete the unwanted configurations is the only way I know.

The above suggestions are the only way I know.

Configurations of an assembly or part?  I don't know how to do this in one step, but it's easier if you want a configuration of a part than an assembly.  Look for Save Configurations at http://www.cadimensions.com/Resources/macros.cfm
As the name implies, it saves the configuration of a part/assembly in the same directory.  For a part, run the macro, and delete the ones you don't want.

It is an ejector pin sleeve. (sldprt) With every size in the catalogue. I will try the macro. This might be what i am looking for. Thanks.
