Displaying Yield Strength on a Stress Plot

Displaying Yield Strength on a Stress Plot

Displaying Yield Strength on a Stress Plot

(OP)
I have a multibody part with different materials.  The stress plot shows the yield strength on the axes with a red arrow.  The yield strength it shows is for "Body 1".  How do I change which body's yield stress is shown on the axes?  How do I remove the arrow altogether?

For example: say "Body 1" is plain carbon steel (yield = 32,000 psi), and "Body 2" is alloy steel (yield = 90,000 psi).  In this case I am not worried if "Body 1" yields, and so on the plot I want it to show the yield strength is at 90,000 psi (or not show the yield strength at all).

I know I could use an assembly to remove the yield stress, but that seems like a waste of time and space if I could just change a property somewhere.
