Suppress dimension on drawing?

Hello! I have a problem that I haven't found any solution to when I've searched. I have a model with features that I can't easily associate the dimensions to on the drawing. Instead I have a sketch with simple lines that gets the dimensions from the same expressions that the features use. And then I attach the dimensions on the drawing to that sketch and hide that sketch layer on the drawing. This works really well. The problen is that when I suppress one of the features, I want that dimension to dissappear from the drawing. Now it just stays there since it's associated to the skecth and if I suppress the sketch also, the dimension becomes grey and remains on the drawing. Any solutions?

I'm using NX 7.5

Dear Skifree,

You can this function:

-Edit
---Suppress Drafting Object


Where you create or either select the same expression that triggers the feature to be suppressed.
