SOLIDWORKS: Yellow Colored Cells of Derived Configurations?
Summary
Finally, in 2008, SOLIDWORKS added the ‘Modify Configurations’ Dialog box to edit long lists of configurations without needing excel. Upon initial glancing at the configure component window there were indented rows, with some of the cells white, and others yellow. If a variable was changed in the table for any derived configuration, the cell turns yellow to show that this value is not linked to the parent any longer. Its only after the changes are saved and the table re-opened that the additional derived configuration (Size1 Adjusted – No Hole) did not update and the link is now shown as broken (yellow color). I don’t have a crystal ball to tell what will happen, what I do know is that change starts with you; if you or someone you know would like this function, fill out an enhancement request.
