Supressing Components with joints without getting an error message

Anonymous — Fri, 27 May 2016 16:41:55 GMT

Is this possible? I am working with an assembly where I have selection sets that I use to suppress and unsuppress features and components to show different options. For example a conference table that could have different dataports. The problem is that when I suppress the features and the components, the joints come up with an error saying that the geometry no longer exists therefore it can't solve the joint. That's fine, that's how it should work. I'm asking for a different solution or a workaround where I can suppress or hide the features and components without having the joints fail. Thank you for your time!

Is there a reason you are suppressing these feratures and components instaed of just hiding them ?

I am not at my Fusion 360 compiuter at te moment, so cannot try. Can joints be supressed ?

If not, that should be a great suggestion for the Idea Station!

The feature is a hole cut into a part. As far as I know the only way to have a feature like that not appear is to suppress it. If there is another way then that would be great.

Joints themselves can be suppressed. But they will still come up with an error message if I also suppress one of the features it is referencing.

That, I would call a bug!

I was hoping to not get that answer. Not going to complain too much though because it doesn't stop me from doing anything it just gives the warning. Is there anyway around this for now?
