Can't delete configurations
Can't delete configurations
(OP)
Maybe some of you SW gurus can help me out. Many times as I go through the stages of design and development of new parts, I will create configurations for experimental or investigative reasons. Those configurations may or may not be required in the final design. On several occasions I have encountered configurations that cannot be deleted. I can understand that if deletion would affect parent/child relationships or some significant design differences. But many times I have encountered configurations that cannot be deleted even though no relationships are affected and there are NO design differences from other configurations. Can someone tell me what I'm missing? What else do I need to check?

If you have a view on a dwg using that config, change the view or delete it.
Same thing on an assy.

RE: Can't delete configurations
Please try these below. You should be able to delete unused configuration(s).
1. Close all of your SW documents;
2. Close your SW;
3. Restart your SW;
4. Open the document that contains the configuration you want to get rid of;
5. Activate another configuration that you want to keep;
6. Now you should be able to delete the unwanted configuration(s).
Best regards,
Alex
