Suppress FIRST Item of an Array

[karthur1]

In an assembly array, we have the ability to suppress certian items in the array.  These suppressed items are not included in the quantity count (or the weight) for the assembly.  This is great.

We have the ability to suppress all the items in the Array, except for the very first item.  Why are we limited to this?  Now rather than just suppressing the first item, I have to change the constraints for the first item so that it moves. And then adjust the constraints for any item that is associated with it.

It would be MUCH simplier if we had ability to suppress the first and any other item in the array.

Thanks

Supressing array members by selecting them on screen would make workflow easier....

I would also like to expand this so that we could suppress the FIRST item of a mirrored feature in a part.

Related idea for part feature patterns: Patterns - allow Suppres of Element:1 or the 1st. Occurance.

It would be great if these could be done at once, but the Inventor team will probably treat them separately, so please cast your vote for both.

@DRoam, voted for this one too - thanks for the reminder.
