Help - How to hide dimensions in sketches

[tmccar]

Can I  hide or "switch off" dimensions in Fusion?

[AndrewSears · Accepted solution]

We do not have the ability to toggle sketch dimension visibility independently from the sketch.  Can you add this to the idea station?

Thanks,

Please explain?

[AndrewSears]

We do not have the ability to turn dimension visibility off so the dimensions will always be shown to you until you turn the visibility of the sketch off.  

Please be a little more descriptive and let me know what is unclear about this so I can help you.

Thanks,

Andy

Hi Andy
I wanted to basically "clean up" the appearance of my 3D part by
switching off the dimensions. But it's not a big issue

Any update on how to toggle sketch dimensions on/off?

[TrippyLighting]

Have you tried if this works for you ?

[rumpelstielz]

came across this thread searching for a way to hide or change the appearance of dimensions while you're editing the sketch, @TrippyLighting your tip works in the modeling environment but is there a way to to it in sketch mode now ?

would be nice to clean up clutter and get a clearer view of sketches with lots of dimenions and constraints like this:

I have a use case for hiding dimensions during sketching.

When laying out a board, I sketch all of the components. Then I need to lay them out. At this stage, I do not need to see dimensions, constraints, points, etc.

There are already toggles for constraints and points but not for dimensions.

On a macbook air this simply doesn't work.  The entire sketch just goes invisible or the dialog box disappears.

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

This would be handy, probably in the Sketch Palette?

Deleted because it does not work

@rumpelstielz: You can (now I mean what I write ;-)) hide constrains by disable the checkbox "Show Constrain" in the Sketch Pallette

Another tipp might be to write the dimension not only on one side...

[bradanlane]

I already use "hide/show constraints" when necessary. The larger issue are the dimensions since they add lines and values. The overall problem is even further demonstrated when creating a parameter used sketch. In this case nearly every addition to the sketch is dimensioned. These get VERY cluttered.

@bradanlane: My post was more related to the example of @rumpelstielz. And I agree with you, that hiding dimensions would be nice. I'm just proposing workarounds. Another workaround would be to use an Equal-constrain if possible.

I use Fusion 360 sketch to quickly simulate 2D mechanisms. For this use case, the dimensions really clutter the screen. I'd love an option to hide them in the same was that you can hide constraints.

I've made a screencast of a mechanism I'm currently working on. http://autode.sk/2IiqGaM

This option isn't visible for me.

Are you in an active sketch?

Did you see this response, " @TrippyLighting your tip works in the modeling environment but is there a way to do it in sketch mode now?"
