Supressing an annotation with an expression.

[rg006]

Hello,
I am making a lot of parts using the family parts function in NX4. I want to have the drawing in the part update along with each family member. For one family set, I have a bolt circle, which is controled with a suppression expression, "1" turns bolt circle on, "0" supresses it. I have an annotation in the drawing which calls out the bolt circle, hole diameter, etc., and I can not find a way to supress the annotation automaticly when the bolt holes are supressed. So when I supress the bolt circle, the callout still appears, but with no associativity.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Rick

We call this type of drafting as "Template Drafting", that we did it in 2-3 projects.

In drafting u can select Edit->Suppress drafting object.
In the dialog select Expression button, and select whatever expression u want, and then select the annotation, dimension, or centerlines etc that should be suppressed (or unsuppressed) by this expression.
For example here u can associate bolt circle expression to this annotation.
