Need help with config tables in sub-assembly

Hi.
I am having a problem with parts in a sub-assembly not changing in my
assembly. When I click on the properties in a part in a sub-assembly my
config files are greyd out so therefor it is not looking for the right
config file when i update.
Anyhelp would be helpfull

 

Damin...I am not sure if you are completely out of luck. What John suggested
is definately one solution. What you might try to do is "edit part" where
you are trying to change to a different configuration while in the main
assembly. Right now I am a bit rusty, but i dont see why wouldnt work as
well.

 

Make sure you are not trying to change a part within a sub-assy from
within your main assembly. Also make sure in the properties box, you
have selected use named configuration.

 

Would I be right in saying that:

If I had Assembly 1 wich had a design table with 3 Config's wich consited
of 3 parts and each of those parts had three config files Config A Config B
Config C am I able to run these configs in Assembly 1 design table

What would the syntax be if so would it be somthing like
$configuration@part.......... By the way I am only a newbie and am not
having any traing until Febuary

 

I don't think so. I think you would have to have 3 established configs of
the sub and then specify which sub-config went with which main config.

But then, maybe if you only have one instance of the sub in the main, maybe
you could make the sub flexible, and therefore be able to do it. If you
have more than one instance of the sub in the main, it won't work.

I don't know - my eyes are crossing. :-~
