    In an assy, you can multiple select different parts and change to a new
    config on all of them at the same time. The key is that the different parts
    all need to have the same config name that you want to change to. When you
    open the properties box, only the config names that are common to all of the
    part files selected will show up. This means that if you are setting up a
    project, keep in mind that you might want to be consistent with your config
    naming, such as each file has a config called 8A, 8B, etc.

    Wayne,

    The one problem that I would have with this is that my practice on
    naming configs is to name the first config after the filename which is
    also typically the part number. So I would never have configs named
    the same way since they would all be either different part numbers or
    derived configs based off the part number.
