V5R12 - Sketcher

V5R12 - Sketcher

V5R12 - Sketcher

(OP)
Hi Everybody,

When using the sketcher, it is sometimes difficult to make the difference between the objects belonging to the sketcher plane and the objects "in the background" ?

Is there then a possibility to hide the elememts (or filter) in the backgrounds ? (Of course, without to have to go and select the elememts in the tree as it can be then very time consumming for a very big model)

Thanx

RE: V5R12 - Sketcher

When I have that problem I often just rotate my view in the sketcher so I can get a feel for what is actually in the plane.  But you're right, when it gets confusing you don't want to go around hiding all the objects.  Hope rotating your view will help.

RE: V5R12 - Sketcher

You can use the "Cuts part by sketch plane" icon (first icon on my tools toolbar - a blue surface cut by a red grid).

This hides everything in front of the sketch plane, but if you use the "Normal View" command (on the view toolbar) to flip the sketch orientation and then activate the cut part command and then flip the view normal back again, you will see that it hides everything in the part behind the sketch plane.

You will have new option to deal with sketch/3D elements in R14... just wait a little bit
