Example

Remarks

Configurations allow you to save certain display characteristics with each of the assembly components. This method allows you to retrieve a previously saved configuration.

If you made changes to the model and the configuration to which you are switching needs to be updated to reflect those changes, then you must rebuild the model using IModelDoc2::EditRebuild3. Otherwise, the FeatureManager design tree will show the model as needing to be rebuilt.
