Pro/PROGRAM is the functionality that facilitates this. Features in a part or components in an assembly can be suprpressed or resumed based on some condition you set. That condition could be a parameter setting like from a layout (Pro/NOTEBOOK) or a value from an analysis feature. I believe thereare examples in PTC's Knowledgebase.

Thanks to all that helped with this. The general concensus was to use Pro/Program. Here is how it worked

I had already created a parameter (WD) in the relation that was the working distance for the part.

Using Pro/Program (Once I found out where it was moved to) I created an if staement that looked basically like this:

IF WD > 10

ADD FEATURE

END ADD

ENDIF

So as long as the minimum length is met, the feature will be added.
