Notebook, Glyphs

[Anonymous]

I would like to turn off the visability of Engineer's Notebooks and Glyphs globally using the API. 

Does anyone know of controls for this?

Currently we can only turn off the visibility of the browser node for Engineer's Notebooks, but could not hide the glyph.

By now we arrived in 2023, any possibility to switch visibility of notebook glyphs?

Hi @christian.postma.  I am using 2022.4 software, and I have settings within the Application Options > Notebook tab for the visibility of these.  Maybe this is what you were looking for.

Edit:  And below is the API code route for those settings:

Dim oOptions As NotebookOptions = ThisApplication.NotebookOptions
oOptions.DisplayNoteIcons = False
oOptions.DisplayNoteText = False
oOptions.KeepNotesOnDeletedObjects = False
Dim oTO As TransientObjects = ThisApplication.TransientObjects
oYellow = oTO.CreateColor(255, 255, 0)
oRed = oTO.CreateColor(255, 0, 0)
oGrey = oTO.CreateColor(191, 191, 191)
oOptions.TextBackgroundColor = oYellow
oOptions.ArrowColor = oRed
oOptions.NoteHighlightColor = oGrey

Hello @WCrihfield,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Sometimes I can punch myself not looking for the answer in the right place....

You solved it!

For any anybody with the same question:

Q: Make Notebook icons/glyphs invisible, how?

Opening Application options and untick  'Note Icons', hit 'apply' and no change is made to the glyphs.

Because the settings are aplied to the application itself, you need to reopen the file you are working on. 

Then the glyphs are invisible.

@Autodesk inventor team; IMHO this option should be available in context menu's and/or the view panel in the ribbon.
