MANUALLY SUPPRESSED FEATURE

Hello

Is it possible to know if a feature is manually suppressed (Not by Pro PROGRAM) in the relations part? What I am trying to do is to change some parameters values if the user suppresses certain features.

I know you can know it in Drawing Program with the command FEAT_SUPPRESSED(part_name.prt,feat_id), this command shows YES or NO, but it doesn't work in the Relations part os a model.

Thank you for your attention.

Not exactly what you asking for, but what about creating a parameter and then setting it's value at both the part level and feature level.

/* Part Level Relations

FEAT_X_SUPPRESSED = YES

/* Feature Level Relations

FEAT_X_SUPPRESSED = NO

As long as the feature is not suppressed, any relations after it will show the parameter value correctly.  (Using this parameter in the other top level relations may require a double regen to get it to evaluate correctly.)

Sample model attached.  (Creo 3.0)  Suppress and resume the chamfer feature.

Hi Tom.

Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately I work on Creo 2.0, so I can't open your model, I tried what you said and it works, but I have one problem, when the feature is not suppressed, the model doesn't regenerate, it shows that a relation is no longer satisfied with the parameter I just created.

Yes, unfortunately that is a limitation of this simple approach.  Creo recognizes that it can not reach equilibrium with the relations and throws the warning.

Let me chew on this a bit longer...
