Model States pattern suppress the individual components

When I suppress the individual components in the pattern it has the result I want.

When I try to suppress the entire pattern – it resets the pattern (everything unsuppressed) for every model state – regardless of the “pen” icon.  I could be doing something wrong everything is up to date .  Autodesk Inventor 2022.1.1

Hi! If I understand how Model State works correctly, this is a limitation. The issue here is that Suppressing Pattern and Suppressing an Instance are two completely different operations. Also a pattern can be nested and a nested pattern can be suppressed. The suppression behaviors can become fairly complicated, almost impossible to capture on the table. As a result, to simplify the process, when a pattern is fully suppressed, it will become a Factory Scope edit.

If the intent is to suppress all pattern components in one Model State and suppress some in another Model State, you will need to suppress the instance individually.

Many thanks!

So I can't suppress or unsuppress a full pattern in any Model State. If there is another Model State that as a pattern with individually suppressed parts?  

So I have to add something to the name the Model State to tell other coworkers that there is individually suppressed patterned parts.  I could only pattern one part at a time. This just seams odd to me that this worked with level of detail but not Model States.  To me the error is with the "pen icon" function and not Model States.
