Suppress features using equations

    Does anyone know if it is possible to suppress features using
    equations? Or is there anyone who knows a nice workaround?

    Thanks JJ

    Design Tables are probably best suited than equations to control
    suppression.
    You could probably put the equations in an Excel Design Table...
    Another approach would be through a macro, or even a macro feature...
    Could you provide more details on what you're trying to do ?

    I have created lots of parts files for our model library that are based on
    design tables. In them I have used equations, suppressed/unsupressed
    features, etc. Check out the SW model library and look at the RC Sprocket
    for a good example.
    http://www.solidworks.com/pages/ser...?C1=Parts&C2=Gears, Sprockets and Power Trans
    It has all the teeth created based on equations and input parameters, and
    all the hub/keyway/setscrew combinations available.
