Display option for load/constraint symbols

Display option for load/constraint symbols

Display option for load/constraint symbols

(OP)
Probably a simple question, but for a newcomer it's still confusing.  

I want to display all of the symbols for loads, constraints, etc ALL THE TIME.  When I apply a constraint, I see the symbols showing it has been created.  After doing a few more operations those symbols disappear.  I would like them to always be visible.  I'm sure for large models it could get messy but my models are so simple while learning it would be very helpful.  I assume there is some kind of display option but the help file has turned up nothing so far.

Thank You

RE: Display option for load/constraint symbols

PlotCtrls --> Symbols... --> "All Applied BCs" --> OK

If you've applied the BCs to geometry, issue SBCTRAN to transfer them from the geometry to the FE model.

Thanks.  I did have BC's applied to geometry and SBCTRAN did the trick.

Thank you for your patience with a new user....greatly appreciated!!
