Hiding planes in assembly



Hiding planes, axis systems and other elements is really easy on a part design level. To show or hide this elements go to Tools>Show or Tools>Hide and select type of geometry to be shown or hidden.

Unfortunately this command is not supported on an assembly level.
To show or hide different types of geometry on an assembly level do the following steps:

1. Select the elements to show/hide - type in a power input field:

t:XXX,all

where XXX is a type of the element you want to select.
Examples:

t:plane,all
t:point,all
t:axis system,all (Fig.1)

To select only this elements which are visible add " & vis:visible", example:

t:plane & vis:visible,all

Fig.1

2. Elements to be shown/hidden are selected, you can use a Hide/Show command or a customized Hide/Shown Button (Learn more here).

3. Selected elements have been hidden - Fig 2.
