Malcolm Crowe Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) The easy way to suppress and unsuppress an assembly, part or feature is to simply right-click on it and select "Suppress" to toggle it on or off. These suppressions are stored with "Configurations", but they aren't stored with "Design Variations". When referencing externally linked assemblies and parts, there are occasions where it is beneficial to store these suppressions within "Design Variations". To do this you need to first create "Suppression Parameters" that can be toggled on and off with values of "1" and "0". Attached are images and a video demonstrating this. In a separate post "Configurations - Linking to External Design Variations" I'll demonstrate occasions where these Suppression Parameters are beneficial.

Malcolm Crowe Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 (edited) The attached video is an example where the "Draft" features are being toggled on and off using "Suppression Parameters". A key benefit of using "Suppression Parameters" as opposed to simply suppressing in the Scene using Configurations, is that "Suppression Parameters" follow the part when dragged into a Catalog or inserted into another Scene, whereas Configurations do not. Configurations are Scene specific, and not linked to the Part (unless linked via Design Variations).
