Yellow boxes when clicking configure function

3D Design Volume Model

Hello

In an assembly, I select a constraint set and right-click Configure Features. What do the yellow boxes correspond to?

(it also does this by selecting components  and Configure Component)

 

Thank you

Hello

These are "child" derived configurations that have links with the "parent" configurations:

If you modify the parent, it should modify the derived config:

Hello

Which version of SW are you on?

I'm in the 2015 version. Indeed I use derived configurations, on the other hand the boxes are not all yellow. On my screenshot, for the first 2 constraints, the last 3 lines should be yellow (I have 6 configs with 3 derived configs each), the same for the other constraints.

I had to change the deletion state in the configurations which should remove the yellow color?

I did the test when I check a box of the parent config the derived config are checked except the ones in yellow!

Is it possible to have a file to test?

Sorry, no file to provide (I'm too lazy to create a "fake" one). This is not really a problem, I will close the question.

Thank you anyway.
