Using features in relations

Using features in relations

I have a feature that is controlled by Y/N in the family table. I've then created a user-defined parameter, which I would like to have return a given text statementbased on the status of the table controlled feature. I've tried to create a relation between the two but have been unsuccessful. Or is this a case where ProProgramming, in which I have little experience, would be the method to use?

To the best of my knowledge, you cannot use part level (or feature level) relations to query how a particular feature was suppressed (manually, family table, pro/program, etc.). What you can do is let the table control a parameter in your part with this information in it. Simply add a parameter to the table and then set the value in the table to whatever you want this parameter to read in each of the different states. If the text you want to enter is longer than what you want to see in the table, you could use something simple for the table value, and then interpret that with some IF statements in the model (IF state=="A", INFO = "State A is active").
