Good Morning all,

I have a model that has 12 parent configurations. From those configurations 96 more configurations where created. Most created as derived and some derived configurations were created from a derived confutation. 

Many levels of Inception!

My question; is there a way to break a derived configuration out from it's parent.

Current ideas are:

A) copy/paste/delete/rename.

   1)copy/paste the derived configuration

   2)delete the original

   3)rename the copy (remove"Copy of xxxx)

      Would this work and would it break the association to the drawings?

B) create a design table and delete the parent there.

      Same question, would it break the association to the drawings?

Any other ideas are welcome.

Thanks in advance for your help.
