imate glyphs

[Anonymous]

I want these to not show up.

Anyone know how I can stop them from showing up on my screen, or at the very least turn them off?

See the "Control iMate visibility" procedure at the following link:

http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Inventor/enu/2012/Help/0073-Autodesk73/0460-Assembli460/0461-Build_as46...

You can also search the wiki for Inventor 2011 and 2012 (although the above procedure applies to previous releases).

Raising Wiki awareness since 2011!

Thanks,

But I think the attachment I posted shows the procedure your documentation descriped, and it is not working with this nylock.

Attachment also shows inv 2009, if that makes a difference.

If you know another way to turn these off, let me know.

I know my boss will ask what that is and he will hate it.

I don't have 2009 installed to test, but I do have access to the help. I attached a screen shot of the 2009 procedure. The first procedure is for an individual part. The second procedure controls iMate glyphs for the UI in general. 

The exception is if the part is selected, iMate glyphs will always display.

If either of these do not work, could you zip and attach a dataset that shows the behavior? Thanks.

Here's an example of iMate glyphs that won't go away. A clevis pin was inserted with Design Accelerator, and iMate glyphs appeared after insertion was complete.

Deselecting the clevis pin has no effect.

Selecting the clevis pin, right clicking, and deselecting iMate Glyph Visibility has no effect.

View->Visibility->iMate glyphs is off, and has no effect.

View->Visibility->Object Visiblity has all work features off.

Nothing works. Maybe iMate glyph visiblity is turned on in the Design Accelerator component and can't be turned off outside it.

Way late in the day for this thread and it may not be related, but in case it helps someone else searching for how to turn the glyphs off, here goes.

I had added some cap screws from the content center (now that I think of it, it happened when I changed screw lengths) and the glyphs would not shut off. I had to right-click and turn the glyph visibility ON and then OFF again to get them to actually turn off. So dumb.

Ironically, it's the opposite to Roy in The IT Crowd answering the phone: "Have you tried turning it off and back on again?"
