Suppressing assembly feature V26

[shmbry]

Is it possible to suppress, rather than delete an assembly feature in V26 ?

 

[dlaery]

yes, right click on the part, on in design explorer, select suppress

 

[shmbry]

An assembly feature, not an assembly part.

 

[NateLiquidGravity]

Yes.

Or do you mean assembly features like assembly cuts?

Yes. Assembly features such as cuts.

Sorry I can't say I've any experience with them. As soon as I found I couldn't propagate them to the part level prints it didn't have much use for me.

Because they only exist at the assembly level they won't show on the part prints.

I understand that's how it works now but a simple toggle to propagate to all affected parts would make a lot of sense and could save users lots of time vs having to edit and project/constrain holes in multiple sketches across multiple parts. Essentially Alibre Design could do all that kind of linking in the background.

There is a way to make assembly features show on a part print (or at least what appears to be a part print). Use 'isolate' in a print of the assembly to get just one part to display, complete with any assembly features.

Sure, but you still can't design around them.

Annoyingly, no, you can't suppress assembly features and I wish you could

Yes, that would be quite handy.
