If I have already made several display states, and turn on link to configurations, the display states are not always on the correct configuration. Is there a way to move the display states to the correct configuration? or do I have to start all over?
I have wondered about this myself. Unfortunately, I don't have a good answer. I will need to do some testing to find out.
Solid Byte if you find out I would love to know - I have been trying different things but so far nothing works - there is a copy function when selecting display states but there doesnt seem to be a way to paste it.
I have found that you can copy a display state, activate a new configuration, and then hit ctrl+v to paste a display state. There is no paste option upon right-clicking, another one of Solidworks’ quirks! You can safely ignore the error message. Beyond that, I don’t know of any easier way to assign display states after the fact. Hope this helps. Anyway, I have sworn off using display states:)
Solid Byte Did you actually manage to copy display state over to another configuration? im trying, but cant get past the error message.
Yes, when I activated a new configuration and hit Ctrl + V, a copy of the display state appears. I just dismiss the error message that says that item cannot be pasted here. (I am using Solidworks 2016.)
Very helpful video and amazing explanation. Thank you!
Awesome little summary of the concepts put together. I was wrecking my head trying to get display states to work properly between configuration
Glad to help, Kym.
This is exactly what i need. Thank you so much for making this video
Thank you. Well done.
Thank you so much! :)
Glad to help
Thanks for this summary. Please do the same for Templates and sheet format. I need help.
Hi Robert, thanks for the suggestion. I have been meaning to do a template vs sheet format video for some time now. I have been doing research and gathering material but have not gotten around to doing it yet. It is another one of those things that is unnecessarily complicated and a lot of users struggle with it. Stay tuned.
