This is so crazy I had to share
As I always understood it was impossible to create an external reference from one configuration to another... but I must be tripping because you can.

I have a workflow where I use configurations to create my components, but I rip them out into individual files and replace the assembly components before I use them to cut each other.

Well this time I was distracted and forgot that step and it just worked.

Probably a stupid idea.. but possible

Does the parts still ref the config file?
Or the link is broken already?

Hey Fred

Nah everythings in context
doesnt appear to be causing any probs yet

I'm going to see what happens when I pack and Go

also see if I can rip the configs and replace components keeping the refs

pretty cool

So its works a treat
after ripping the configs and replacing components the features are still in context.
The features that are suppressed go out of context which makes sense but I could add a delete suppressed features option to my ripper.
