Inventor - Control part feature suppression using parameters

By Martin Lee

Inventor part features can be controlled at a basic suppression level using parameters and the feature property.

1. Within the parameter dialogue create a parameter to control the feature suppression. Make the parameter a multi value list.
   
   
2. Select the feature to be controlled in the model browser and right click -> properties.
   
   
3. Configure the dialogue to suppress the feature when the controlling parameter value is selected.
   
   
4. Change the parameter value to observe the feature suppression.
   
   
5. Several features can be controlled by the same parameter.
