Create visibility states for same feature found throughout all parts in assembly

[Anonymous]

I need help with turning on and off a common feature found in every part I have in any given assembly.  I've tried using Levels of Detail and Views, but I get the impression that those options are only available for parts, not the features in those parts.  True or not?

More specifically...I have conveyor beds as parts that have a feature in them called Control_Side_Crossover.  In any given project. some of the beds have this feature switched on, some have it off.  I need a way to globally shut them all off (for BOM export purposes) and then return them to their previous state.  I had kinda the same question a while ago, but that was for globally shutting off a feature that was completely either globally on/off.  

Again...this time, I need to capture the "visibility" state of a different component, globally turn them all off, then all-at-once restore the select few that were previously turned on. 

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi @Anonymous,

Hope below sample iLogic rule can help to turn on / off specific Feature. It is tested with attached assembly file.

In this example, iLogic rule would turn on / off of Hole Feature.

Dim oDoc As AssemblyDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim featName As String = "Hole"

Dim oDef As AssemblyComponentDefinition
oDef = oDoc.ComponentDefinition

For Each occ As ComponentOccurrence In oDef.Occurrences
    If occ.DefinitionDocumentType = DocumentTypeEnum.kPartDocumentObject Then
        Dim partDef As PartComponentDefinition
        partDef = occ.Definition

        For Each oFeature As PartFeature In partDef.Features
            If oFeature.Name.StartsWith(featName) Then
                If oFeature.Suppressed = True Then
                    oFeature.Suppressed = False
                Else
                    oFeature.Suppressed = True
                End If
            End If
        Next
    End If
Next
