Suppress feature with Excel

[tduplessis]

Hi all,

I just started learning how to change Creo models using an Excel spreadsheet and can change feature size dimensions.

What I can’t figure out is how to suppress a model feature using Excel. Does anyone know of a tutorial or can supply step-by-step instructions that might help me?

Thank you.

Are you running an Excel analysis, or something else?

The only way I know of to truly control and manipulate Creo from Excel is with something like Nitro-Cell.

Yes, I’m using Excel Analysis to change dimensions. So I can’t use it to suppress features? We don’t have Nitro-Cell, so I sounds like I won’t be able to use Excel to suppress.

From what I can tell you can only control parameter and dimension values from an Excel Analysis.  No ability to suppress or resume features.  Sorry.
