Configuration Driven feature Dimensions

Configuration Driven feature Dimensions

Configuration Driven feature Dimensions

(OP)
Hello All

I have recently had a stuff up where I did Pack & go of a sheetmetal part & drawing to make a new part(& drawing).

It is just a U shape part where apart from other diffrences the width of the part across bent legs was diffrent. So I changed the extrude feature dimension in default config. But it didnot change in Flat Pattern config. So the flat pattern did show the old dimension which I failed to notice & the stuff up happened. Just for trail, I tried to change another feature dimension this time a shell feature & this dimension changed in both configurations.

Now My question is how do I know which feature will update in both configs & which will not?
Is there something I am missing in this case?

RE: Configuration Driven feature Dimensions

While changing a dimension , you can always select which config(s) to be updated. I just tried with a simple L shaped part and the dimensions are updating in both Default and Flat configs as expected without doing any setting. Any chance if you upload that part to review.
