You can also control suppression with the Configurations tool. I'd say it's mainly used for Part/Assembly suppression, but there is also a checkbox for Configurations to track Intellishape Suppression. Both methods (parameter based or configuration based) are useful depending on the circumstance and what you're trying to achieve. This video (about Suppression) goes into some detail about how the configurations side works too: https://www.ironcad.academy/tutorial/suppress-unsuppress#tools

As Malcolm mentioned, these are Parametric parts. They also just have a few nice additions to make them easier to use quickly, like referencing shapes which are push and pull instead of just type-a-dimension adjustable. This basically just involves creating 2D profile constraints. A good place to start if you just want your holes to "follow" the pins, is to use the "Project Constraint" command for the holes. See this video: https://www.ironcad.academy/tutorial/project#sketch If you want to go more advanced and change one dimension (like the block) and have everything else move/update, then it will involve setting up a bunch of different relations between part sizes and positions. See this video to get you started on Part Constraints for movement: https://www.ironcad.academy/tutorial/positioning-constraints#assembly

Hi Malcolm, I think this is a great idea, and have often experienced cases where the thread shown is unrealistic. Note there is a workaround way to make the thread display bigger, just not smaller. Cosmetic thread textures use a SmartPaint decal, so you can use the mapping tool to adjust the projection of the decal. It's important to note you need to select down to the face level to see the Decal mapping tool available. I've attached a Gif. Note, I think your request is still needed, this is just a workaround that half-works (only increases thread size not decreases). You could also go track down that thread texture if it was really needed and apply it as texture not decal so you could do thinner threads. Then save that graphic to the catalog and drag it out onto anywhere it's needed.

Right click on the SmartDimension and click "Lock" and it will appear in the Parameter table. Note, on the image you provided this may not be possible because you are at the Part Level which means that dimension is not "Controlling" the position of the whole, it is really just a measurement. If you want to control the position of the hole, first select down to the shape (yellow) level, and then apply the SmartDimension at that level. About 3 minutes into this video I discuss how this works: https://www.ironcad.academy/tutorial/smart-dimension#annotation
