So why can't I supress/unsuppress? I thought U was an option? Strange, my components keep changing their properties from supressed to unsupressed in an assembly with a design table.
"The value "U" in column "$STATE@WTB STU 6 leg Under Shelf......" is invalid. The legal values are "SUPPRESSED" (S) or "RESOLVED" ("R").
Exiting design table without completing model update."
I would have to believe that RESOLVED means UNSUPRESSED, that's why the system needs "R" instead of the "U".
The funny thing is, there's a "U" in many spots in the design table. I just can't add any.
Maybe it's because of some virtual components?
Gary,
I know you used to be able to place a "U" for unspressed and "S" for suppress.
I used to do this all the time. I am wondering if there is some other symantic
error in the DT other the the U or S.
What version are you running?

This is from the SolidWorks help,
Features, Equations,etc are Suppressed and unsuppressed
Components are Suppressed and resolved, from the design table.
Dont ask me why.
Good find. It's strange to me, because I always though "U" used to be valid in assemblies. Well, that's half the battle.
Hi Gary,
I also had this problem, when I tried to make macros change values in design tables.
You can use "1" to supress and "0" to unsupress. It works pretty fine in both assembly and part files, so you don't have to worry about which letter you'll use.
