Hide Model in CAM simulate

[Anonymous]

I need the option in the simulate dialog to show/hide the model while in  CAM simulation, just like you can hide the tool, toolpath and stock

you can do it the same way as all other workspaces, turn the body's light bulb off, use the view settings so on.

Yes but I need to turn it on again when I finish the simulation, it should
be separate in the simulate dialog

Why does it need to be on the simulation dialog? It's just as easy to toggle Models light bulb in the browser.

Because in a big assembly it is complicated to switch between the multitude
of component, the option in the simulate dialog should only display the
selected body for machining

In strictly UI design terms I don't know whether it's necessarily a great idea to clutter up the simulate dialog with options that're (sort of, kinda, maybe) available elsewhere, but I can definitely see how it would be convenient one.

The advantage is that (now that Simulate can remember settings) you could tick a box once in the dialog, and have it automatically hide the model every time you start a simulation & restore it as soon as you exit - and @Anonymous is right, it does seem like a logical addition to the tool/toolpath/stock toggles.

The best current alternative - scrolling to the top of a potentially long browser tree to toggle the (lightbulb? eye? eyebulb?) visibility button at the global or Models level - isn't difficult, but like the issue of (until recently) having to constantly enable stock visibility, it's a couple extra actions that compound into frustration when you find yourself going back and forth between modes a lot (usually as a result of struggling with something that's already causing a lot of frustration).

So I don't think it's a gamebreaker either way, but I can appreciate the convenience, so I'll give it an upvote.
