Component Configurations in
an Assembly
If a component (either an individual part or a sub-assembly) has more
than one configuration, you can specify which configuration to use for
each instance in the assembly. You can specify which configuration to
use for several components at a time, if the components have configurations
with the same name.
You can also specify certain configuration-specific properties for the
component.
To specify component configurations and
configuration-specific properties:
Right-click
the component and select Component Properties .
To specify configurations for more than one component, hold
down Ctrl and select the components,
then right-click and select Component
Properties . Properties that are common to all the
selected components appear in the dialog box.
Set the
following options, then click OK.
