Unable to set "Use same configuration as pattern seed component"

Unable to set "Use same configuration as pattern seed component"

Unable to set "Use same configuration as pattern seed component"

(OP)
Hello,

Good day, here is a problem we have run into.

We patterned a component with multiple configs.

We then go to the component properties of one of the patterned component and select "Use same configuration as pattern seed component" and then OK.

Finally, we go back to the component properties of the same patterned component that we just changed and we see that "Use same configuration as pattern seed component" is NOT selected.

It seems that it is not accepting this setting.

Has anyone seen this before or know what would cause this?

Thanks,

Ok, talked to our reseller this is a problem in SWX 2007 SP4.0, btw SP3.1 did not have this problem.

Should be fixed in SP5.0.

Cheers,

RE: Unable to set "Use same configuration as pattern seed component"

That's odd.  I use '07 SP4, and I use component patterns all the time with parts that have multiple configs, and I've never had that issue.  Mine are almost all feature driven rather than linear/circular.  Does that make a difference?

Hi Handleman,

I believe the exact problem occurs when you turn on "Use Name Configuration", then try to go back to "Use same configuration as pattern seed component" ... it will not be able to go back (it gets stuck at "Use Name Configuration").

I only saw this problem with linear patterns, fyi.

Thanks for all your help,

Joseph

RE: Unable to set "Use same configuration as pattern seed component"

Ah, I get it now.  As in, I get the issue on my PC.  I guess I hadn't tried switching back from "Named Configuration" to same as seed, and it does happen for feature driven patterns as well.  What was your workaround?  Delete and recreate the pattern?

Hi, I haven't tried to delete and recreate (although, I suspect that will work). Luckily I have one machine with SP3.1, so I will use it until 5.0 comes out.
