Chapter 10 - <strong>Design</strong> ConfigurationsExample 1:The example assembly above has 1 configuration - Config 1. Assembly Config 1 has apattern of 4 Female Connectors.I create another configuration of the assembly - Config 2. I will lock all options exceptParameter Values, which I will leave unlocked. Assembly Config 2 is at this point isidentical to Assembly Config 1.Next I activate Assembly Config 1, and I edit the pattern so that it has 7 instancesinstead of 4.I then activate Assembly Config 2. In the <strong>Design</strong> Explorer, the Female Connectorpattern will show the new instances, but they will be suppressed. This is because theoption Part/Subassembly Suppression is locked, which means all new entities besuppressed in Config 2. However, Parameters is unlocked, which means the number ofinstances follows the changes made in the active configuration (Config 1 in thisexample).The result will be:278
