Dimension modification
Once a dimension is set with config-specific values, the default will be "This Configuration".-

That's the rub - it only does it after you've already made a global change, realized you forgot to make it config-specific, gone back & fixed the original, then re-specified the config-specific dimension.Roland Schwarz wrote:

After about the 3rd or 4th time you make the same mistake in one model, you eventually remember to check that box . . . . . Until the next project.
It would be nice to either default to config-specific (which could result in the same problem in reverse) or have a "novice" mode which asks the question or makes it more obvious that you need to consider whether you want it config-specific or global.

Also,
I prefer to use the "configure feature"/"configure dimension" tool whenever I create a part with multiple configurations. Or even better, a design table.
Right click on any dimension and select "configure dimension", and it will bring up a table that shows all your configurations and all the dimension values for each config. This is a quick and easy way to make sure each configuration is set properly.-

Thanks all,
I've already experienced all the technic you explain above and that's why I think the best for me would be having the dimensions set to "this config only".
Actually when I make a change in a part for upgrade/modification of a machine I create a new config so all the revisions of the same part are in one folder but I don't want to alter the other config which are the previous versions of the part. I thought maybe it would have been possible to change the default setting of the dimensions so I would have been on the safe side. -
