Add a "hide construction lines" and "hide dimensions" button

Add a "hide construction lines" and "hide dimensions" button

Is it possible to add a clear and distinguished "hide construction lines" and "hide dimensions" button to the sketch menu ?

I think it would be something many people will appreciate !

One might as well throw in a 'Remove Constraints' function. We've all tried to move a sketch only to find there is a constraint icon located on the sketch geometry which prevents the ability to move the sketch lines one is trying to move. It's somewhat silly to have to zoom in on the sketch lines and try with great effort and precision to select the tiny constraint icons in order to delete them with the delete key so that you can move the sketch lines one is choosing to move.

@Anonymous Or todays little "fun" discovery.  I have A construction-line that I use as a reference to some other lines and curves. One of them is placed on, and coinstrained to, the constructionline.. Trying to delete that short line without delete the constructionline...

Hide dimensions is now possible with the latest update.

Being able to hide construction-lines as a "category" similar to constraints and dimensions will also be extremely usefull, when exporting sketches to DXF-files for digital fabrication such as lasercutting. Today all of the lines and construction-lines from the sketch are exported to a "flat" DXF-file. As a minimum construction-lines should be on a separate layer or in a separate color, so it would be easy to get rid of them all in Adobe Illustrator (Select > Same...)

Looks like this was accepted in 2015 but never implemented? A checkbox to hide construction lines would be a life saver.
