17 .8. - A different way to configure a dimension is by double-clicking it, and when

the "Modify" dialog comes up we can select which configuration(s) to modify; if a

component has configurations, the "Modify" dialog adds a configuration icon at the

end of the value box. This icon helps us define if we want to change the

dimension's value for "This Configuration," "All Configurations" or "Specify

Configurations." Keep in mind that this icon will only be visible IF we have more

than one configuration in the part.

Double-click the "Shaft Ho/e"feature to display its dimensions, double-click

the diameter dimension, and change the value to 0.55". Make sure we are only

changing the value in this configuration by selecting the "Configuration" button and

selecting "This Configuration." Click OK to finish and rebuild the model. Using this

option, the dimension's change only affects the active configuration "Forge."

17.9. -An easy way to work with configurations is by viewing both the

FeatureManager and the ConfigurationManager at the same time by splitting

the FeatureManager pane. To do this, place the mouse pointer at the top of the

FeatureManager and look for the "split" feedback icon, then click-and-drag down.

Select the FeatureManager in the top pane and the ConfigurationManager in the

bottom pane.
