Configurations
Configurations
(OP)
I have created about 15 configurations of a very simple part (a pine 2 x 4 stud), all but 4 of which are simply different lengths. Four of the configurations have additional cuts (each configuration has its own separate cut). I can create all configurations, one at a time, with no problem. I configure the cuts to apply to only the one configuration that they are for and suppress them for every other configuration. So far no problem. Now I go back and rebuild each configuration individually to make sure everything is proper and works, and each configuration rebuilds correctly. However, the cuts that are suppressed show a rebuild error. Then, when I go to the assembly that uses these parts, it shows that these studs have rebuild errors, even though those cuts are suppressed and the assembly rebuilds correctly. Is there no way to get rid of these warnings, or must I just live with them?






RE: Configurations
In my opinion, you are beyond the productivity threshold for your configs. You are past the point where you will be wasting more time maintaining the configs than you would if you had separate parts. Some people lke this, though, because it makes them feel clever.
RE: Configurations
Can you post the part for review?
