rod with updating thread size

I need a rod with a section at one end threaded. The rod Dia is to be controlled via excel input and is also affected by user input in a popup window. However every time the rod Dia changes I get an inappropriate thread size warning. So in an attempt to counter it I did the following.

 

Created my rod with thread feature and suppresed the rod feature

 

add this rule with an event trigger of parameter changes

 

Feature.IsActive("Thread3") = False

If lowrod_dia = 12 Then Feature.ThreadDesignation("Thread3") = "M12x1.75" ElseIf lowrod_dia = 16 Then Feature.ThreadDesignation("Thread3") = "M16x2"

EndIf

Feature.IsActive("Thread3")= True

 

after that it seems to work but im thinking there should be a less bodged solution. Anyone got any ideas?
