INTRODUCTION:
ConfigManager.swp macro will dynamically change the configuration that is 
activated or referenced in SolidWorks documents.  Document type and 
preselection(s) determines how the macro works as follows:

Part model (Preselections are ignored)                                      (1)
            - Activates configuration in part model.

Assembly   (No preselection)                                                (1)
            - Activates configuration in parent assembly model.

Assembly   (With component preselected)                                     (2)
            - Change referenced configuration of preselected component.

Drawing    (No preselection)                                                (3)
            - Change referenced configuration of all views in drawing.

Drawing    (With views preselected)                                         (2)
            - Change referenced configuration of all preselected views.


(1) This produces the same result right as going to the configuration manager
    and double clicking on the configuration name to activate a configuration.
    This method eliminates the configuration manager refresh and screen 
    scrolling each time a configuration is activated. 

(2) This produces the same result as right click, component properties, change 
    referenced configuration, and OK within SolidWorks.  This eliminates
    repeated steps when it is necessary to view different component 
    configurations in the context of the current assembly.

(3) This produces the same result as right click, component properties, change
    referenced configuration, and OK for each view in a SolidWorks drawing.
    This eliminates repeated steps when all views in a drawing must be updated
    to display the same configuration.
