How to propagate changes across configurations.

I'm using the configuration manager to create different configurations of the same part. I then use these parts in an assembly. In one configuration I have a reference plane defined that is offset by 20 degrees from another plane. I have this same plane in the second configuration. When I change the definition of the reference plane from 20 degrees to 30 degrees in one configuration it does not update it in the second configuration. Is there a way to cause this reference plane to be global across both configurations so that a change in one configuration effects a change in the other configuration?SolidworksGeneral
