Configuration option to suppress parts

Logan_5

I came across the need to suppress parts inside of a part studio to create different configurations.  I am able to accomplish what I need to do inside of an assembly but that adds another step that doesn't seem necessary.  Please look into adding the ability to add parts into a selection when setting up configurations.

You can use the feature "delete part" and select your parts you want suppressed. Then you can configure the suppression state or the selection set of the delete part feature. This is basically the same thing and will get you going in the mean time.

I would also just use the delete part feature to accomplish this with no pain

Sounds good, thank you for your help.

I'm finding that I cannot configure the selection set for the "delete part" feature. Right-clicking the selection set when editing Delete Part does nothing. So I have to create e.g. 3 different Delete Part features and configure the suppression of each, rather than having 3 different configurations of a single Delete Part.

I just tried it and it works fine for me so not sure what's going on...
Maybe try from the "other end" by clicking on the "configure features" from the configuration table? Try refreshing your browser and if that doesn't work I would submit a ticket.
