I have a part with multiple configurations. Is there a setting that allows me to add new features to the active configuration, but which are suppressed in all other configurations? Seems like a dumb question but I'm sure it should be clear how important.
Ah! Great. I had noticed the "Suppress new features & mates" checkbox but didn't go so far as to activate in all configurations so it wasn't working correctly. thanks very much
Where is this setting? I'm having the same problem. I don't understand what you mean by "In the configuration properties in the Advanced Options section".
I'm at home now and don't have SW here, so I can't post any screenshots, but I'll try to help. Go to your FM tree and click on the Configurations tab. There you will find a list of your configurations. Right-click on one of them and choose Properties. You should see the option Jamil referred to near the bottom.
Right-click a config and select ...
Thank you Glenn and Kelvin! I could swear I tried looking there, but I didn't see Advanced Options. Doh!
In the configuration properties in the Advanced Options section there is a checkbox for "Suppress new features and mates". You need to enable this option for every other configuration. You can enable it in the active configuration too and don't worry it won't automatically suppress new features made in that active config, it will only suppress them in other configs with that setting enabled.
