Adds a variable to the variable table so you can suppress and unsuppress a feature using the variable table. For example, when you select an extruded cutout in Feature PathFinder, then click the Add Suppression Variable command, an entry is added to the Name column in the variable table named:

ExtrudedCutout_1_Suppress

When the variable table entry is added, the value defaults to 0 (zero). The zero value specifies that the feature is not suppressed. If you change the value to something other than 0 (zero), the feature is suppressed.

When you add a suppression variable to the variable table you can also use an external spreadsheet to specify whether a feature is suppressed or unsuppressed. For more information on linking  variables to an external spreadsheet, see the Variables Help topic.
