Hey all,
I'm trying to create some user-customizable 80/20 extrusions using part flexibility. The part allows the user to define extrusion length, as well as suppress or resume anchor counterbores (A, B, C, D, etc). I want to create a local parameter (something like END1 and END2) that outputs which anchor counterbores are resumed at each end of teh extrusion for the bill of materials (ie END1 = ABEF if those specific counterbores are not suppressed at that end).
I figured I could somehow use the function "exists," but I can't seem to figure out what to use as the argument. I tried using the feature name, feature ID, and feature number, but maybe I'm not entering it in the correct format? I also tried just having it check to see if a dimension related to each individual counterbore exists, but that doesn't seem to care if the feature is suppressed or not.
Anyone have some suggestions? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
