Import a part into a configuaration of another part
Import a part into a configuaration of another part
(OP)
Good mornign, I have a model of a part, XCT-030, which is just a piece of straight tube. I have a second part, CT-80, which is the same as the XCT-030, but it is bent. I would like to be able to import the CT-80 model into the XCT-030 file, but I would like it to be in a configuration, so that when I use the XCT-030 in an assembly, the XCT-030 is what appears in the asssemblies BOM table, and the CT-80 is what apppears in to assembly model. Can this be done? I am being a least vaguely clear? Thank you in advance for any assistance.

When creating your configurations, I think there are options to hide/show parts in assemblies (or maybe even bodies in a part file) as well as suppress/unsuppress mates within an assembly. Try the option as necessary to get your configuration to save which solid bodies are shown/hidden.
