Usually is reported in different “flavors”. But, in general, it always has a feature in the context on an assembly.  In this particular example, the feature has an in-context relation with another component feature. At other times, the feature has an in-context relation with an assembly sketch. The other common denominator of this problem is the derived configuration. This does not have to be a sheet metal issue, as any derived configuration will produce the same result.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The customer goal is to create two flat pattern drawing views, each showing a separate configuration. Because these are flat pattern drawing views, the configurations will have to be derived flatten configurations. The video shows that to resolve the problem, you must pair a specific assembly configuration with the part derived configuration. This must be done for as many derived configurations as it exist in the part.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Col class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\u003Cli>\u003Cdiv class=\"ds-video\">\u003Ca data-3ds-videoplayer=\"modal\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\">\u003Cspan class=\"ImageCover Border Block\" style=\"background-image: url(\u002Fassets\u002Fimg\u002F3ds-default.webp); width:100%; height: 100%;\">\u003Cspan class=\"Btn--circle isCenter\">\u003Ci class=\"Icon Icon--playBig\">\u003C\u002Fi>\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"\u002Fassets\u002Fimg\u002F3ds-default.webp\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:100%;\">\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fdiv>\u003C\u002Fli>\n\u003C\u002Fol>\u003Cp>\t{&#8220;type&#8221;:&#8221;video&#8221;,&#8221;tracklist&#8221;:true,&#8221;tracknumbers&#8221;:true,&#8221;images&#8221;:true,&#8221;artists&#8221;:true,&#8221;tracks&#8221;:[{&#8220;src&#8221;:&#8221;https:\u002F\u002Fblog-assets-ppd.itvpc.solidworks.com\u002Fuploads\u002Fsites\u002F4\u002FFinal_Recording2.mp4&#8243;,&#8221;type&#8221;:&#8221;video\u002Fmp4&#8243;,&#8221;title&#8221;:&#8221;SW Tips and Tricks&#8221;,&#8221;caption&#8221;:&#8221;Working with in-context feature and derived configurations&#8221;,&#8221;description&#8221;:&#8221;&#8221;,&#8221;meta&#8221;:{&#8220;length_formatted&#8221;:&#8221;5:46&#8243;},&#8221;dimensions&#8221;:{&#8220;original&#8221;:{&#8220;width&#8221;:1924,&#8221;height&#8221;:1040},&#8221;resized&#8221;:{&#8220;width&#8221;:1118,&#8221;height&#8221;:604}},&#8221;image&#8221;:{&#8220;src&#8221;:&#8221;https:\u002F\u002Fblogs.solidworks.local\u002Ftech\u002Fwp-includes\u002Fimages\u002Fmedia\u002Fvideo.svg&#8221;,&#8221;width&#8221;:48,&#8221;height&#8221;:64},&#8221;thumb&#8221;:{&#8220;src&#8221;:&#8221;https:\u002F\u002Fblogs.solidworks.local\u002Ftech\u002Fwp-includes\u002Fimages\u002Fmedia\u002Fvideo.svg&#8221;,&#8221;width&#8221;:48,&#8221;height&#8221;:64}}]}\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>How to create a relay card in SOLIDWORKS Electrical\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>By Javier Ojeda\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>What to do when you need a group of relays each with their own contacts, but they are all integrated in the same card?
