Turn reference sketch geometry Invisible?
Turn reference sketch geometry Invisible?
(OP)
Hello People
Does anyone know how we can either make reference geometry within a sketch invisible outside so it doesn't show up on some 2D symbol drawings we have been creating.
Using edit object display allows you to move the referecne lines onto another layer within the sketch, however as soon as you exit the sketch they fick straight back to layer 1.
I'm using NX4 by the way.
Many thanks in advance
Simon.

Or you can use view dependent edit to remove the offending geometry from the drawing view.

It's easier to just use 'QuickPick' and select the line directly without messing with setting and unsetting of filters all the time.

I find that setting the filter from the selection dialogue is useful for picking multiple items, saves time waiting for the 'quick pick' function to activate for each pick.
