Planes and Sketches everywhere
Planes and Sketches everywhere
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm relatively newer to inventor as far as experience goes. When I am creating multiple parts and I bring them into assemblies, I wind up with a lot of my sketches and work planes visible. Some times I am working with very large assemblies and it is very time consuming to hide each individually through the browser, especially if I'm working with sub-assemblies, mirrors, and patterns. I have noticed the global toggle View>Object Visibility>User work Planes/2D sketches. I use this very very often. I will toggle them off, but as soon as I create another plane or sketch, or if I want just one to be visible, they're all back and I have to repeat the process again.
Is there a setting I'm missing? Can I default them to hidden in the assembly? Is there another option or a workaround?
I am working in inventor 2014 and something like this seems like an unnecessary burden.
I appreciate any help or advice.

RE: Planes and Sketches everywhere
Why do you have unconsumed sketches (or if they are consumed why did you turn on visibility?
Why do you have visible workplanes?
(I have never experienced the issue you describe because I turn these off in the browser as I don't generally need to see them to use them.)
You might attach an example ipt file or small assembly example here.
