Add new feature to existing shared expression to suppress.

Add new feature to existing shared expression to suppress.

Add new feature to existing shared expression to suppress.

(OP)
In NX 6, I have 2 detailed thread features that I am suppressing with an expression.   I created a shared suppression expression for both features.  Now, I change the diameter and some of the cylindrical faces of my part and had to go back and redefine the thread features.  For some reason, the select cylindrical and start face are not available when editing the the detailed thread feature so I have to delete it and recreate a new detailed thread feature.  Now, how do I add the suppression state of this new feature to the existing expression that now is only controlling the state of the first thread feature?     

RE: Add new feature to existing shared expression to suppress.

That has never been an option for this.  The best that you can do is create a new Suppression Expression for the new features and just set it equal to the name of the original Suppression Expression so that changing the first expression causes all the feature to Suppress.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
