Any recommendations for naming configurations so that theyare both drawing and BOM compatible? I started giving them thewhole part name, then adding the specific configuration name at theend, like this:

part name: support, fuel tank
configuration 1 name: support, fuel tank, short
configuration 2 name: support, fuel tank, long

then I specify in each configuration that I want to use theconfiguration name in the BOM...

however when we come to the drawing, I have the drawing sheetformat fill in two things in the name block:

PART NAME
( CONFIGURATION NAME )

That way, if the part has no configurations, the part name tellswhat it is. If the part has configurations, there is someduplication due to the configuration name including the part name(for sake of making BOMs work). A drawing title block for the firstconfiguration above would look like this:

support, fuel tank
(support, fuel tank, short)

It seems kind of dumb IMO that I have to come up with workaroundslike this to use configurations.
