Global Setting for Keeping Configurations the same in Patterns

SOLIDWORKS SW General

Hi,

Working with a bunch of assembly files that have a bunch of patterns and configurations.

Is there a global setting to make sure all the file are set to the parent configuration, I know you can do it after the fact:

Would be nice to alter the settings in there template to do just that so one less thing to think about.

(Most of this is with thread and simplified (No thread) fasteners.)

Jim

I tried creating a new assembly and added a part and then patterneed it. The patterned components are set to the “seed” parent by default. Are you saying thats not happening for you?

Hi,

I really can’t say in inherited this assembly so who knows what the previous people did, I just want to make sure if I mad any additional patterns that it would be set correctly.

Jim
