Renaming Configurations
Renaming Configurations
(OP)
I had renamed some configurations the other day. When I open the assembly now - it is prompting me with a message:
'the following configurations could not be found. If they were renamed the same configurations will be used'
(or something close to that).
Shouldnt this message stop once I save the assembly? It hasnt for some reason; every time i reopen the assembly (even after saving it) it gives me this message.
Anyone have an idea on why this might be happening?
Thanks,

RE: Renaming Configurations
Just because you re-save the assembly, it doesn't change the part that is incorrect. So, the message will continue to appear until the issue is fixed.
2 options:
1) Delete the part if it is no longer needed.
2) Right click on the part, Select 'Properties', and select the proper configuration name that you want it to reference. Once it is referencing a configuration that exists, you can save the assy and that will stop the message from appearing.
Hope this helps.

I've seen the same issue even when using SW Explorer to rename the configs.
