Full Variable Suppression | IV_Logic_007

This section explains the "variable suppression" feature in Invent, useful for managing separators between variables, such as pipe symbols. It ensures that when variables are hidden, the formatting remains clean, avoiding unwanted leading, trailing, or double separators. The example demonstrates how removing different variables automatically adjusts the separators, maintaining a tidy layout.

00:00:08:18 - 00:00:09:13
Now the final

00:00:09:13 - 00:00:12:13
one we've got here
is for variable suppression.

00:00:12:14 - 00:00:15:14
Now the primary use case for
this is actually if you're just using

00:00:15:14 - 00:00:18:22
separators between different variables.

00:00:18:29 - 00:00:21:29
So the example I've got here
is that I've got a pipe symbol

00:00:21:29 - 00:00:24:02
between my different variables.

00:00:24:02 - 00:00:26:22
Now just left or right suppression

00:00:26:22 - 00:00:29:22
won't really do in this case
because you might end up with a,

00:00:30:21 - 00:00:33:09
a leading pipe symbol
which you don't want,

00:00:33:09 - 00:00:36:26
or you'll end up with a pipe symbol right
at the end, or two pipe symbols together,

00:00:37:00 - 00:00:38:15
which you don't want.

00:00:38:15 - 00:00:41:16
But what for variable suppression
allows you to do

00:00:41:20 - 00:00:45:08
is ensure that the formatting stays
as you would expect.

00:00:45:23 - 00:00:48:23
So now, whichever one of these variables
I get rid of,

00:00:48:26 - 00:00:51:29
I'll always end up with a clean start,
clean end,

00:00:52:04 - 00:00:55:04
and only one pipe
separating the different variables.

00:00:55:18 - 00:00:58:22
So for example, I'll get rid of the t

00:00:59:28 - 00:01:02:28
and you see that it reformatted itself.

00:01:04:04 - 00:01:07:02
If I get rid of the
M it's got rid of all the pipes.

00:01:07:02 - 00:01:09:13
So there's none at all.

00:01:09:13 - 00:01:11:27
So hopefully that gives you a,

00:01:11:27 - 00:01:14:27
a feeling for what that is capable of.
