Export Configs as Individual P/N's

Export Configs as Individual P/N's

Happy Turkey Day to all :)

I did a search on the forum but did not find anything addressing this question so here goes.

I have a part that has about 10 configurations that were created from a DT.  Now that they have been created can I save each one as an individual part number and delete the configurations?  Maybe a batch export?  Or was there a better way to do it from the beginning as I knew I will need them as individual P/N's?  Each one will also need some custom properties associated as well.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Although many people disapprove, individual part numbers [u]can[/b] be used (the same as any other properties) within the Configuration Specific properties (unless you're using PDMWorks).

Try the ConfigRipper macro from http://sw.fcsuper.com/index.php

Hi CBL,
I will give it a try, thanks very much for your input.

I haven't used the macro mentioned above but I have used
"SaveConfigurations.swp" from http://www.cadimensions.com/Resources/macros.cfm

It doesn't give you the option to name each config, rather it automatically saves the configs and appends the config name to the model name.
