How to Assign States for Configurations in SolidWorks Files ?

Hi All,

I was wondering if any one has come thru such situation in PDMWorks Enterprise ?

Thought its better to put to more people so many minds work at atime and resolve the problem...

Let me get straight to the point.

Scenario :

1) A Standard (Customer Designed) has a 10 Configurations in a SwxPart file , He uses the various configurations for his assembliesas and when its required.
2) For some reason one configuration become obsolete, How does hecan identify that the particular configuration in part isobsolete.?
3) Currently with PDMWE one can assign as state to the part aswhole ! in other words its for any given file.
4) However if you have many configurations in a Swx, Its only onefile at end of day. !!!!

So my questions in short is :

5) Is it possible to manage the Revisions & States forConfigurations ?

* Configurations cannot be deleted as these files are referred inmany assemblies,drawings etc.,

Could some body throw some light on this.

I would really appreciate you help.

Many thanks,
BGn
