We can make the flange hole active by using an iLogic function. At the top of the Rule Editor, select the Rule Syntax tab. In the Categories list choose the Component/Features item. iLogic functions that control Components and Features are found here. Locate the Feature.IsActive(“featurename”) function in the Functions window. Highlight and then double-click the function, and its text will be entered into the rule editor.
Click on the Model tab at the top of the iLogic Rule Editor. Locate the flange_hole in the model tree and click its node. flange_hole will appear in the Names tab in the top right corner. Replace “featurename” in the command with “flange_hole” by highlighting featurename in the rule text, and then double-clicking on flange_hole from the name list.
