Suppresing Components with Relations

I am attempting to make a fully parametric assembly using relations. The primary variation in the assembly is length. At lengths above 25" a certain component is present, at or below 25" it is not. Is there anyway to use relations to turn this component on or off? I would prefer not to use family tables, because I have several different parameters like this, and the family table would get rather complex trying to cover all possibilities.
Thank you,
Dan Dwiggins

If you have advanced assembly, you can set this up in Pro/Program. Here's how I do a similar thing.

IF SETUP_WATER_TUBE_DIAMETER == "3/8"
ADD SUBASSEMBLY G0019-A19
INTERNAL COMPONENT ID 11603
PARENTS = 96(#6)
END ADD
END IF

Essentially, put the component in your assembly, got to Tools -> Program -> Edit Program, find the component, and put it into an IF statement like the one above.
 
Thanks, that did the trick. I'm just getting into the advanced assembly stuff.
