Improving Configurations

I still use 2006, and often make maybe 5-10 configurations of a part
which has optional features, and in the part solid, there are times
when I finish and everything is OK (no Red) and I go to the assembly,
and the part then has an error.

The worst offender seems to be a sketch which is in a Supressed
feature, which turns 'On' (but not the Feature made from the sketch).
Once I Supress the erant Sketch, all is well, though sometimes it does
the same thing over again.

Anyone else see this?

Anyone know why it happens?

Am I mistaken, or do configurations need a bit more work?

Yes.

When you create the configuration what are the settings in the config
property manager?

Did you try making a design table. If there are differences and you
autopopulate you will get STATE changes from S to R for various
features. You can then use the table to drive them the way you want
them.
