Redering With Different Configs

Redering With Different Configs

Redering With Different Configs

(OP)
Hi All,

I've noticed in one of my assemblies that one of my parts that has is placed in the assembly with 4 different configurations only shows the materials of the configuration that was most recently open.

Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

SW version and SP?

cheers

RE: Redering With Different Configs

Not a reliable way.  Configurations and PW have a love hate relationship.  When I'm in this situation I open both the assembly and the part with configurations.  I then cycle through the configurations of the part file, rendering (in the part file)after I switch to a new configuration.  I then switch to the assembly file, cross my fingers, get out my rabbit's foot and hang a horse shoe over my computer before hitting the render button in the assembly file.  Sometimes it works some times it doesn't.

It's very frustrating.

Is it possible to get updates without the subscription service?

I guess I didn't have enough rabbit's feet or goat's blood Rob as I still suffered the same issue.

The work around I found is to insert my different configurations into another part file and add the materials in that file.

Tedious but making folders for the different bodies helps the selection process.

Maybe try talking very nicely to your VAR.

cheers
