Is there a way to compare configurations on a part, so I can see what Features are suppressed / active for each configuration?

It could be useful for preparing shop drawings so I can create a "master 'part" that many other configurations are derived from.

Insert a Design Table and choose the "Auto Create" option. It will automatically add every feature/dimension/etc. that varies across configs. You can delete the design table afterward if you don't want to keep it.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks!

If you select all the wanted features on the feature tree (hold CTRL) > RMB > Configure feature you get a table where you can see where each feature is suppressed or be able to suppress/unsuppress feature on each configuration. That table work like an excel spreadsheet (copy/paste, fill by dragging the little square spot)

I have to say it has been years since I needed to use Design Tables, but I'm in it now. Useful as heck.

Wow.

I use them on almost every part/assembly.

Would love.love.love if drawings had configurations.

Revision management would then be a piece of cake....
