Chapter 16: Modeling in Context


FIGURE 16.13

Combining in-context references with configurations


A second situation where combining in-context references and configurations can cause you trou-
ble is if you have referenced the edges of a part from another part, and a configuration of the refer-

situations can cause the in-context sketches or other features to fail. This may be a reason to refer-
ence the underlying sketches, rather than the model edges or faces themselves.
