Suppress By Expression / Feature Group

[ShapeCorp]

I have 2 Section's/Sketches "Sketch(9) & Sketch(11) SEE ATTACHMENT

I have a SUPPRESS BY EXPRESSION than controls them: X < 90degrees Sketch(9) is Active Sketch(11) is Suppressed
X >=90degrees Sketch (9) is Suppressed , Sketch (11) is Active

Here is where it gets funky.....

You can see I have both sketches inside a Feature Group. I also have that Feature group(13) controlled by a SUPPRESS BY EXPRESSION. What I am trying to do is Suppress Feature group(13) and turn on a additional Feature Group.

The problem is I have SUPPRESS BY EXPRESSION on the sketches (9) & (11) which are also Inside the Feature Group(13) also controlled by a suppress by expression.

Is there any way to do this inside of NX with basic expressions? Is there a If/Than expression?

Any input would be helpful. Thanks

You haved started two threads for the same topic. You should ask (by red-flagging and explaining) one or the other.

Also, what version of NX are you using?

But to answer your question, YES, the Expression system does support the concept of IF/THEN/ELSE. Here is how an expression value would look for something like that:

If ( a = b ) Then ( true ) Else ( false )

John, Thanks I will look into the If/Then/Else expression and see what I come up with.
