Hide object from right click menu

Hide object from right click menu

I really miss the visibility controls from Solidworks when you right click on an object (body, component, etc...). I'd love to be able to hide a body directly from the right click menu.

If you select a body or component in the modeling area Show\Hide is on the right click menu, doesn't that work for you?

It shows up in some assemblies, but not all. Here’s a screenshot showing the right click menu in one of my assemblies:

@HughesTooling unfortunately the show and hide option in the right click menu hides the body inside the component and not the component. This makes it really annoying to use because you have to hunt down that body later on to make it show again. When you do it to one part it's OK because you remember what you did but when you do it for multiple ones then you have to develop every component... This is definitely something that need to be worked on.

@benoitD336P If you want to hide the component just double click a surface and the component will be selected then right click and hide or just press V.

 

@SwarmJon There's no screen shot, did you use email to reply if you did attachments don't come through. Are you using linked components with sub-assemblies? I don't think you can change the visibility of sub-components in linked components at the moment.

Yep- it was email. Here's the screenshot:

Here's a view showing the browser. The selected item is a linked component (I think- still a little fuzzy on terminology.)Screen Shot 2016-12-22 at 11.20.27 AM.png
