How to suppress feature in subcomponent

[SECOJOSE]

The goal is to have features in a subcomponent match the state of the mating part in the assembly. For example, if you have an assembly that has a block with a hole that holds a rod, if you suppress the rod in the assembly, the hole will be suppressed in the block. I want to know if this can be accomplished by setting the "IsActive" state of the rod with the active state of the hole feature in the subcomponent. Specifically, I'm asking for the ilogic code that can reference subcomponent features in the assembly's ilogic. I currently have a Boolean parameter in the assembly that passes to the subcomponent but want to get away from that method.

You can try to use Model States, than no programming is needed!

The objective is to work automation into the assembly. I just need to know if ilogic code exists to reference features in another part.

you could try something like this:

Dim occ As ComponentOccurrence = ThisApplication.CommandManager.Pick(SelectionFilterEnum.kAssemblyLeafOccurrenceFilter, "Select a smeetmetal part")

Dim def As PartComponentDefinition = occ.Definition

Dim features = def.Features
Dim lastFeatures = features.Item(features.Count)

lastFeatures.Suppressed = True
