I am having a brain dump right now. I am trying to go to the View menu and show Planes and hide my Sketches but everything is grayed out at the assembly level. (If I open the parts, I can see these items and select/deselect them) I can't even select "Hide all types" right now.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
 
Check you settings under Tool/Options/System Options

Thanks for the reply... I'm very new to SolidWorks and need more help. Will there will be a setting that allows these items to be selected?
 
yes.

You seem to be in Large Assembly Mode. Go to tools-Large Assembly Mode to toggle it off and on.

Also you can go to Tools-Options-System Options- Large Assembly mode to customize what your restrictions are.


Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Jon
