Reference Component/Configuration in Assy equation?

    Referencing Component/Configuration in Assy equations ...

    Is this possible?

    Can I have 2 configurations of a part file, with config-specific
    dimensions,loaded into an assembly as 2 different components, and
    drive that dimension in-context from the assembly? (And have each
    config have a different value ?)

    Equations (as shown in the equation editor) reference only the part
    file name, but recording a macro references the actual component name.
    Since equations actually execute a mini vba program, I was wondering
    if there is a work-around?

    Yes they can, but there will be no way to control these equations from
    another assembly.

    The short answer is that you can't specify configurations in the
    equation. This would be a great enhancement request though.
