suppress vs hide
(OP)
I am unclear as to the purpose or advantage of using suppress vs hide when working with assemblies.
Thanks,

RE: suppress vs hide
If you Supress a component, you basically remove it (and associated Mates) from the assembly, which might introduce new errors.

RE: suppress vs hide
Suppressing a Part or Assembly will also remove it from the BOM after a rebuild. Depending on what your BOM settings are set at.

I still use the hide for configurations, with SW2004 you can use the "Exclude from BOM" check box in the properties window (works well as long as you are using SW BOM and not the Excel BOM). Using hide and the exclude doesn't seem to create as many problems with mates. We generally have small assemblies so this idea may not work for larger aseemblies.
