Expressions to turn off/on instances

[clayton1234]

Hi there,

Im creating a design tool whereby the 3D child part is controlled by 2D sketches from the top level through wave link and expressions. I have the ability to turn bosses on/off through a suppress by expression. This works by assigning each instance of the boss around the casing a name eq 1, 2, 3, 4..... N around the casing and then assigning each one an expression name to turn seperate bosses on/off.

With this I am limited to a specific number of bosses, is there a way to be able to change the number of bosses and be able to turn each one off/on seperately from the top level through expressions?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Well, maybe not necessarily to turn an instance on or off, but you can change the number of copies with an expression.
I haven't tried it, but you may be able to set that number to zero . . . I know for sure that "1" works.
