Viewing Planes, Sketches, Curves, etc.

(OP)
I am having a brain dump right now. I am trying to go to the View menu and show Planes and hide my Sketches but everything is grayed out at the assembly level.  (If I open the parts, I can see these items and select/deselect them)  I can't even select "Hide all types" right now.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

RE: Viewing Planes, Sketches, Curves, etc.

(OP)
Thanks for the reply...  I'm very new to SolidWorks and need more help.  Will there will be a setting that allows these items to be selected?

RE: Viewing Planes, Sketches, Curves, etc.

yes.

You seem to be in Large Assembly Mode. Go to tools-Large Assembly Mode to toggle it off and on.

Also you can go to Tools-Options-System Options- Large Assembly mode to customize what your restrictions are.


Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Jon
