Issue - Problem with Assembly Configuration.


Case -

Parts (P1.sldprt & P2.sldprt) geometries are driven by Sub-
Assembly's (SA.sldasm) another Part (LayoutPart.sldprt)sketch.

"Layout-Part" has different Configurations in order to control
Sub-Assembly's (SA.sldasm) different Configurations.

Now In Main Assembly (MA.sldasm) I am trying to use different
configurations of Sub-Assembly [SA(1) & SA(2)].

Here the problem rise, I couldn't have different configurations of SA
in MA. It takes only the last saved configuration of SA, even though I
have used the "use named configuration" option in properties
dialogue box.


Note:
I am using Design Tables to Configure the above parts and Assemblies.

There is no problem with this way of building a Main Assembly using
Bottom-Up approach.

Is this a limitation of SW?

If so, is anybody having any other idea to resolve this issue?


I am using SoildWorks 2004 SP03 in DELL Precision 360 model.
Thankyou,

Why do not you approach top down assembly?

There is a difference between an objective and actions.
Unless you understand your objective, you will be wasting your time in actions. Know your objective first.

Do not work Hard, Work Smart

There are no limitations in SW that will not allow you to change a SA configuration in the MA. But you must first have SA configurations. If you have part configurations in the SA, you can change those in the MA.

Those links might help if you have trouble understanding Configurations and Top-down designing
