Chapter 10: Working with Part Configurations
FIGURE 10.19Assigning the configuration of an inserted part
Configurations for library features are created in exactly the same ways that configurations are cre-
ated for other parts. The technique for saving the configs to the library feature is discussed in
Chapter 18.Unconfigurable items
As important as it is to know what you can do, it is equally important to know what you cannot do.
The following is a list of items that are not configurable. Although this list is not complete, it con-
tains many of the more relevant items that cannot be configured:l (^) Library feature configs
l Blocks
l (^) Extrude direction or From Offset dimension or direction
l Most of the values in features such as Deform, Freeform, and Twist
While Library Features can be configured, once you drop them into a part and click OK, the con-
figurations are no longer accessible (unless you have selected Link To Library Part), so a part’s con-
figurations cannot select the configuration of a Library feature. A part’s configurations can change
the dimensions of a library feature.
