CONFIGURATIONS

Configurations are a way of making multiple versions of a Model within the same file.

• Think of them like vehicle models. Each model would have several different types of options and within each option you'll have the available colors

• Imagine are the sports version will come in red and the back two doors would be suppressed while the length has been reduced

Configurations may have children referred to as "Derived Configurations"

There are automatic configurations as well

• Sheet metal Flat Pattern

• Exploded View

• Alternative Position View

Many entities/features may be configured:

• Suppress/Un-Suppress Features

• Dimension Values

• Pattern Instances

LMB Configurations Tab→RMB FileName (Top of Tree)→Add Configuration

NOTE: For the purposes of this course, do NOT add a "Derived Configuration"
