Constraints visibility?

Constraints visibility?

Constraints visibility?

(OP)
Is there any way to turn off all subassembly constraints within a CATProduct?  I have a very large assembly which contains a large number of subassemblies.

Thanks,

t:constraint, all

in the power input box (usualy at the bottom rignt of your screen)

Thanks.

How do I hide them once they are highlighted?

RE: Constraints visibility?


You have to do a MB3 selection, and then select "Hide/Show".  Hot keys don't seem to work with power input.

MB3?

I've typed in the "t:contraint, all".  All the constraints appear to be highlights.  I then have tried right clicking on one of the highlighted constraints, select Hide/Show,but only that one constraint is hidden.  I then tried to select Hide/Show from the View pull down menu, but that doesn't work either.  It actually made all the Sketches visible.

RE: Constraints visibility?

Yes, that is correct, Runz.  Do it again, and the opposite will happen.

I'm not sure why the associated entities sometimes get thrown in the mix, but it does.  To hide anything completely, you usually have to do it twice.

Quirky, but it does work.

Thats what I needed.  Thanks,

Hi,

You can also use Advanced Search and save your search criteria in Favorites (Add to ...) with a name. Then you can use Power Input with your criteria and "Hide/Show" icon.
