Suppress Feature

Overview​

This video demonstrates the Suppress Feature command in Nitro-CELL, which suppresses a specific feature within a Creo model from an Excel worksheet. Suppressing a feature temporarily removes it from the model's geometry without deleting it, allowing engineers to create different model configurations or simplify geometry for analysis. The command targets a feature by name or ID and sets its state to suppressed. The video shows how to identify the feature to suppress, enter the command in the execution worksheet, execute it, and verify the feature is suppressed in the model tree. This is a fundamental command for feature-level automation in Creo.

Key Steps​

  1. Open the model containing the feature to suppress
  2. Identify the feature by name or ID in the model tree
  3. Enter the Suppress Feature command with the feature identifier
  4. Execute the command to suppress the feature
  5. Verify the feature shows as suppressed in the model tree

Tips​

  • Suppressed features can be resumed later without losing their definition
  • Be aware of parent-child relationships — suppressing a parent may affect child features
  • Use feature names rather than IDs for more readable and maintainable automation scripts
