Configuration to Suppress Fasteners
Configuration to Suppress Fasteners
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm stumped on this one. I have an assembly with several different configurations which includes some toolbox fasteners. I'd like to be able to configure the fasteners to suppress and unsuppress based on the configuration I'd like to use, but can't figure out how to do it.
Any tips? Seems like is should be very simple, but I've not been able to figure this one out.
Thanks,
Matt

If you need a more automated method you could use an IF statement in a DT or Equation.

Try using a DT.

1) RMB on the config of interest
2) Select "Advanced Selection" from the menu
3) Select File Type in Category 1
4) Condition "="
5) Value should be set to fastener.
This will select all fasteners in the model.
You can isolate, suppress, delete, etc. from there.
