Is it possible to explode configs into seperate parts - without breaking assembly?

    Hi all,

    I have an assembly of extruded pieces which I've been building up using
    design tables etc. But it has all spiralled out of control. Too many
    config's, too much confusion and lot's of small errors. I want to save
    each config to a seperate part then replace the related assembly items
    with the new part file. Surely there is a macro or something for this?

    I received just that program as part of a SW add-in at SWW2005 from
    Barry-Wehmiller. You might go to their website www.bwir.com and request a
    copy.

    I just did a part with 34 config's. It wasn't that hard to do it manually.

    Save as: new part name
    Use config name for new part.
    open new part
    delete all other configs
    delete all suppressed features (hit the delete dependent features)
    Make new assembly, manually mating all new parts....
