Suppresing Components with Relations

Suppresing Components with Relations

Suppresing Components with Relations

(OP)
I am attempting to make a fully parametric assembly using relations.  The primary variation in the assembly is length.  At lengths above 25" a certain component is present, at or below 25" it is not. Is there anyway to use relations to turn this component on or off?  I would prefer not to use family tables, because I have several different parameters like this, and the family table would get rather complex trying to cover all possibilities.
Thank you,
Dan Dwiggins

RE: Suppresing Components with Relations

If you have advanced assembly, you can set this up in Pro/Program. Here's how I do a similar thing.

IF SETUP_WATER_TUBE_DIAMETER == "3/8"
    ADD SUBASSEMBLY G0019-A19
    INTERNAL COMPONENT ID 11603
    PARENTS = 96(#6)
    END ADD
END IF

Essentially, put the component in your assembly, got to Tools -> Program -> Edit Program, find the component, and put it into an IF statement like the one above.

Thanks, that did the trick.  I'm just getting into the advanced assembly stuff.
