Fast way to turn off Tube and Pipe Route Visibility

Hey all,

 

So I am working in a pretty large tube and pipe assembly and sometimes i need to work on just one of the main lines (just one run) so I hide all of the other runs so i can just see the one I am working with. Then when I turn on the visibility of the hidden runs the routes become visible again so the included work planes become visible again as well. 

 

Is there a quicker way to turn all of toggle the visibility of all of the routes in the tube and pipe assembly then going through and clicking each one (maybe 100+ routes)? I cant just turn of the work-features because I am still working with routes and need work planes still visible. let me know if you have any Ideas!

 

Thank you!!

This may not be what you're looking for but I'd be toggling visibility options in the attached image and/or using the shortcuts you see when you hover over the toggle to do so. I also set up a custom shortcut for myself that's ctrl+shift+alt+V to toggle the visibility of ALL work features instead of having to go through each type individually.

 

Additionally, there's no default shortcut for the visibility of 3D sketches which I believe is what the tube and pipe runs generate. But if toggling that would help you, then I'd also set up a shortcut for that (I use alt+3).

 

Hope this helps!
