Question
getting rid of purple dimensions automatically?
I'm working on automated models for configure-to-order products, and many of
our parts have features that will be suppressed, depending on input
parameters. So the drawing has to have dimensions for these features. When
we go to print the drawing, if the features are suppressed, the dimensions
that had been there for the features that are suppressed are now, of course,
unregenerated & therefore purple.
Currently, we must manually select the unwanted dims & get rid of them.
Is there a way to magically get rid of these dimensions?
(note that this is one more reason to use shown dimensions instead of
created whenever possible - the shown dimensions simply go away. Only the
created ones become unregenerated)
