iPart Custom Parameters

[Anonymous]

When I create an iPart with custom parameters for a feature Suppression column it defaults to Compute but it would be nice if it also gave a toggle for Suppress (maybe like it does when placing iPart in assembly).
Along those same lines if I create a column for Properties - Material I must know exactly how available materials are spelled (and I assume upper and lowercase, but I didn't check that). A list would be nice when creating iPart. In addition there is no list when placing iPart, that would be a secondary concern if I could easily select when creating iPart.

A way to cheat is to activate a row then change the part material at the
part level. It (used to before R9) propagate back into the table.

Ah yes, that'll work until v11 comes out. I was afraid it would change the entire column but it only changes the default row.

It's just a quick way to make sure it is spelled correctly. Then just copy
it to the required cells.
