Have you tried CTRL+SHIFT+Q? It's supposed to force rebuilds in all configurations.... Be careful, in the description of this shortcut, Solidworks itself warns, I site, about "the considerable time" that these reconstructions can take.
Have you tried switching your assembly to Lite mode and then returning it to Resolved mode?
If that's not enough, I think we should move towards a macro.
Kind regards
Note: wouldn't you have double-posted by chance?....
Thank you for your intervention but it doesn't work sniif.
possible that it is posted 2 times but when the post was created it did not appear in the news feed so I made a second post and curiously I only see one it's weird.
I found a macro in the solidworks API help to switch all the elements of an assembly between Lightweight mode and Resolved mode; I deliver it as is: (be careful, the processing is very long for large assemblies). To try.....
'-----------------------------------------------
' Preconditions:
' 1. Open an assembly.
' 2. Open the Immediate window.
'
' Postconditions:
' 1. Sets all assembly components to either
' lightweight or fully resolved.
' 2. Examine the FeatureManager design tree
' and Immediate window.

@OBI WANI think @Lynk'mright, even if you go through the properties it creates an equation as soon as you put the = symbol in a hill.
Just look at the end of the previously cited tutorial by @a.leblanc, when he adds the deletion, he opens the equation window and we find the different values added previously.
