Bookmarks for geometric objects at the part level?
Bookmarks for geometric objects at the part level?
(OP)
Hi,
In NX, bookmarks will save the component status in the context of an assembly, but is there a bookmarks feature to save the visibility (blank status) of geometric objects on the part level?
The reason is, sometimes I'm working on a complex part with lots of objects. In this part, perhaps 50 objects are shown, and 50 objects are hidden. Now, I want to pay attention to a single object, a sheet body, and don't want to have any other objects cluttering the view. Is there a way to only show this sheet body, hide the other 49 objects, then when I'm done, show those 49 objects again?
Of course, I could simply select all objects in the view except the sheet body and hide them, but the problem is sifting through a hidden collection of 99 objects and showing 49 of them.

Another option would be to select the sheet body you want to work on and blank it (Ctrl+B).
Then Invert the blank (Ctrl+Shift+B).
The only negative I can think of is that when you undo the blank (Ctrl+Shift+U), everything would be shown again, not only the 50 items you had active.
