Hi,
I am making this discussion to try to undestand if this problem is something in my computer (or sw instalation) or if it is something wrong with my rules.
So I make a rule to switch configurations in and assembly based on the input dimensions and other inputs, and the rule returns the expected value, and driveworks tries to change the configuration, but in the end I have the message "Unable to sitch configuration to "...(Config name)..." ", but in the retrived assembly the configuration that is been used is the correct one.
That happens in several diferent driveworks programs in different configurations (but only give this erron in one of the several configurations).
In the rule I have several IF conditions inside the main IF, and this only happens in tha configuration that is retrived in the else section of the last IF.
This is not really a problem because in the end all the dimensions and active configurations are correct, but it is only a discussion..
Regards
Nuno
Hi Nuno,
If DriveWorksXpress is able to switch to the configuration then there is nothing wrong with your implimentation.
The fault here lies with the DriveWorksXpress reporting.
My guess is that if you open your master model and check the configuration the model is saved in, you will find that it it the same configuration that is showing up in the reporting.
This is a known issue but you can raise it with your SolidWorks Reseller. FYI this is not an issue in either DriveWorks Solo or Pro.
If you want the warning message to be removed from the report then the easiest solution is to save the master model in a "Dummy" configuration, that way DriveWorksXpress will always change the configuration. But as you have said it all works fine, so if it aint broke dont fix it
