Sketch Point Visibility

Anonymous — Wed, 08 Nov 2017 17:39:37 GMT

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to hide the points in 2D/3D sketches as shown in the photo. So far I am only able to change their color.

Thanks,

Ben

You can either turn off the object visibility of all 2d 3d sketches (see attached jpeg)

or turn off the visibility of that particular sketch (see other attached jpeg)

As far as I know there is no way to turn off that point only in that sketch.

However, some of our inventor experts out there might known of a way!

Hi Michael,

I would like to turn off all points on all sketches, but keep the lines visible.

Thanks,

Ben

I don't know of any way of doing that.

Maybe someone else will know.

Hi Ben,

Mike is right. There is no way that I am aware of to turn off visibility of sketch points. The points are there for a purpose. The points are pieces of sketch geometry actively participating in constraint solving. They are not just for display.

Many thanks!

Select those points, then in the properties window, change point styles to _no display, if you have one. Otherwise, create one for no display. Thanks

Can you post example that existed in the year 2017 (you have responded to an old thread), or even in the year 2021?
