Blog SOLIDWORKS 2015 - The What's New You Didn't Hear About (Part 01 - Configuration Toolbar)
In SOLIDWORKS 2014 we received a tool that allowed you to switch the active configuration of a part/assembly in the current active configuration called Quick Configurations.
1. Go to Tools/Options/
2.Turn on "Show quick configurations"
Now to 2015, what did I miss?
In 2015 SOLIDWORKS added a new toolbar. It allows you to change the active configuration of the assembly you currently have opened in SOLIDWORKS. This will save you time from going to the configuration manager or splitting your feature manager design tree.
1.Go to Tools/Options/
2.Under Toolbars check on "Configurations"
