Making csys in drawing invisible

Making csys in drawing invisible

Making csys in drawing invisible

(OP)
Hi,
I added the part csys to my MODEL reference set as I needed it visible in the assembly to use it to contraint this part. But now it is visible in the drawing aswell. By removing the csys from the MODEL reference set it disappears in my drawing. But will affect this the contraints I defined with this csys? Is there a better way to make the part csys in the drawing invisible? By clicking on the csys in the drawing and pressing the button for hide, the whole part disappears...
Thanks!

RE: Making csys in drawing invisible

Could you add a "drawing" reference set to the part and use that reference set for the drawing? Also try going into the model of your drawing and try hiding the CYS there.

Great advise! It was so quick just hiding them in the model of the drawing! Thanks!

No.

If you explicitly filter for datums, only the datums will be hidden.

You can create additional reference sets as required. If I need to reference additional geometry for constraints, I like to make a "CONSTRAINT" reference set that contains this extra geometry. Once the part is constrained, I switch back to the model reference set. Changing reference sets doesn't unload the constraint geometry from memory, so it is still available (but invisible) for the constraint solution.

you can always do it the old fashioned way and change it's layer.

My favorite way is to press "CTRL + W" then just hide or show whatever you need.

Quick, reliable and easy.
