Show Configuration Descriptions

In part or assembly documents, you can display configuration descriptions in the ConfigurationManager.

By default, configuration names and descriptions are the same. You must specify new configuration descriptions so they appear in the ConfigurationManager.

To change a configuration’s description, right-click the configuration in the ConfigurationManager, select Properties, and type a new Description.

To show configuration descriptions:

  • In the ConfigurationManager, right-click the part or assembly name at the top of the tree, and select Tree Display, Show Configuration Descriptions.

    The ConfigurationManager displays the configuration descriptions.
