Change part ID to be the same for all configurations
In my model I am configuring a composite curve and then referencing the endpoint of the curve with a sketch. The selections of the composite curve are different in 2 configurations, so the sketch constrain (coincident) loses its reference. Is there a way to over-ride the part ID so that the sketch won't lose its reference? I've been trying other features as work arounds but I can't find a solution that will keep its reference. Is the part ID the right way to look at this or is a solution not possible?

@MichaelPascoe I replied too soon, it does work!! This eliminates loads of downstream configurations and duplicate features. I wish I could change my answer from no to yes above. This certainly answered it. Thanks again!

Not sure this will work for your case but it may. @lana made a FeatureScript Assign Identity for manually assigning ID's. Pretty awesome:

@MichaelPascoe this looks promising! I am able to configure the point, but I am not able to reference the point in the sketch. I think I need something more here. If the AI point could return a referenceable item, like an MC, that might be enough. Any more thoughts? And thank you very much!
