I have an ipt with multiple model states (Group.ipt with states G1, G2, G3).
It calls derived ipt files (A, B and C), also having their own model states (A1,A2,A3; B1,B2,B3; C1,C2,C3)
When I select the model state representation of one of the derived parts for a specific model state in the group file it affects all group model states, not just the one that is active.
STEPS
I tried pack and go but the files were too large so you will need to work through these steps.
Create A.ipt with multiple features (e.g. emboss various text items onto a face). Create model states A1, A2, A3. For each model state suppress different features so that each model state can be identified by just looking at it.
Do the same for B.ipt and C.ipt
Create Group.ipt. In it derive A, B and C, making sure to select X1 for the model state of each on the representation tab of the Derive Part dialog. Use the move command to locate them so that they are not on top of one another.
In Group ipt create model states G1, G2 and G3. Activate G2. RMB part A in the browser and choose Edit Derived Part. Change the representation to A2. Do the same for B2 and C2.
You should be in the Group part file with model state G2 active. Parts should be displayed in states A2, B2 and C2.
So far so good....
Activate G1 model state. Remember, when this state was created, the A1, B1 and C1 representations were selected. BUT A2, B2 and C2 are shown. Editing the derived part representation has acted globally instead of being limited to the active model state.
I think that derived parts are an oversight of the model state implementation. Would you be able to investigate please.

Hi! If I understand the request correctly, you would like to configure the Model State in the Derive feature, similarly to Table Replace in Assembly Model States (configuring the Part Model State). Such workflow does not exist, though we are aware of the request. We don't have a good solution at the moment. Derive feature (except the scale factor) applies to the factory, not the members.
Many thanks!
