Saving Configurations - Design Table Issue

Unread post by JerryM456 »

Hello All,

New user to the forum here. I have an issue with SolidWorks 2020 SP5. I have an assembly with several different configurations, with a design table. Whenever I save a single configuration as it's own assembly, it will not open and it encounters an error. This only happens if I close the assembly with the multiple configurations (i.e. open the new saved configuration assembly by itself with nothing else open).

If I open the new saved configuration assembly, while having the main configuration assembly open, it will open just fine. I can then delete the design table and save it and it then becomes usable as a separate assembly.

It looks like it may be something with the design table.

Has anyone came across this issue before?

Thank you

Hello, and welcome to the forum. If all else fails, you can make copies of the Assembly and delete the unwanted configurations in each.

Can you be a bit more specific as to what error it encounters..? It sounds to me like an issue with external references.
