Dynamic Suppression of features based expression if a certain Configuration is active
I like to suppress feature based on the configuration, is there a way to do this in the dynamic suppression expression to check which configuration is active or some other way. I can make a variable and set it but this would be simpler.

Streamlining Sheet Metal Exports in Assembly
Hi, Just a plain question here. I created a configuration Part Studio, and import many variants in one subassembly. What is the most approachable way to export all the sheet metal parts flat pattern to DWG's? We're talking about around 50-150 instances of one configuration with 2 sheet metal parts, every week. Thanks in…

Same material across all configurations
As an exercise I'm creating a configurable fastener to which i'm tring to attach a material, finish and part number from a catalogue I use regularly. I have discovered that assiging a material only applies to that unique configuration. Of course I want all configurations to be the same material. Perhaps there's an order of…

Configurations Question
I'm designing a box that will hold a small electronics project, basically just an arduino nano type board and a battery, plus some surface features: a hole for a switch, a hole for USB, mounting pegs for the board, etc. I designed two different versions of this for two different boards. One uses USB C, the other mini USB,…

Is it possible to use feature script to quickly export mass property values for assemblies?
Hi all, Still learning about feature script but I wanted to know if anyone has had any experience using Feature Script to export/output data (specifically mass property values like mass, center of mass, and moment of inertias) into either the command line or ideally into a txt file for an entire assembly. This action would…

Configuration Variables MisMatch
I've ben struggling with some configuration properties. With all of the tech out there I still cant figure out what I've done wrong. I have set a variable property called "Label" that I'd like to assign to each of my configurations. However, there is a mismatch between what I've set vs what is shown. When I select the…

Unexpected behavior Advanced Configuration Workflows / Exercise: Configuring Multi-part Part Studios
Specifically at Step 11 the student is instructed to: Double check the Feature list. There is one more feature that is red, the Base Fillets. Switch the configuration to the Square Base. Double check the Feature list, again. All the features should build without errors in this configuration. This not the case. When…

Configuration Payground Best usecases and Complex Examples and Dynamic suppression

How to use a config variable to make more config variables?
Im making a 3d printed screw sorter. A screw sits on a disc and is rotated by a spinning head, until the end of the screw tips into the right sized hole and falls into a bin below. I want to be able to configure both the number of bins and the screw length of each hole. So I want the user to be able to first use a config…

Two bowls with almost the same dimensions
I want to create to different rectangular bowls with almost the same dimensions. They differ in shape and length and width and depth. The remaining dimensions like thinkness, spacing and liddepth are the same. I drew and formed the first bowl. I wanted to use the same variable table for the second bowl. However I got…
