Capture CIS, problems creating more than two Variants

mvonahnen

I have a design and I need to create two different variants from the base design, so I have the core design and two variants.

I am able to create one of the variants by selecting in the core design which parts are not present.  But I can only do this in the core design, the field is grayed out if I go to the individual variants, which means I can only select one set of components which are not present.  Given I have not seen this issue in other forum posts and this is a common thing to do, there must be something in the way I am setting up my variants that is wrong.

Anybody have suggestions on how to fix this?  My version is 16.5

    I found the solution. I had to create multiple DNS groups in the common and copy the appropriate ones to the various variants, depending on which group of components I wanted to DNS.
