part sketch relation in an assembly design table?

    Is it possible to put a sketch relation from a part into an assembly design
    table?

    ie.

    I have a part called "gusset<1>" in an assembly. I want to be able to turn
    off sketch relation "Coincident1" in "Sketch1" of "gusset<1>" from within
    the assembly's design table. I tried using "$STATE@Coincident1@Sketch1
    @gusset<1>" but the design table complains about the part name.

    If I can't do it this way I'll just have to use two configurations of
    "gusset<1>".

    TIA

    Tia,

    You can utilize $state@sketch_relation@sketchname in an assembly if it
    refers to a sketch created in the assembly.

    Example in Assem1, I create Sketch1. Sketch1 has 2 configurations:
    With Coincident and No Coincident. The parameter,
    $state@coincident1@sketch1 in the design table would be able to
    control the state of the Sketch1. You would develop the Gusset from
    these 2 sketches in the assembly by developing a part in context. A
    Gusset part is probably note a great example of top down design. So
    if you aready have the part, you will have to create two
    configurations of the part and control the part in the assembly design
    table.

    You can only go one level down in the assembly design table - unless
    it is a entity created in the assembly.

    Regards, Marie
