Hide dimensions in sketch

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello, inventor in 2015, there is not a way to hide the dimensions in sketches. This will allow to see more clearly the sketch.
Thank you.

Right click on the sketch in the browser and select Hide Dimensions.

 

If you need to hide dimensions while editing a sketch - there is a trick to do that too, but first I would want to see an example file before revealing the trick.

I'm gonna guess he does that using sketch blocks...

 

Another way..

Here is a simple ilogic routine to hide dimensions.. This can be run from an active sketch.

 

Dim oDoc As PartDocument
oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Sketches(1).DimensionsVisible = Not oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Sketches(1).DimensionsVisible

Yep.  The sketch block can be fully constrained within the block and then the block can be fully constrained in the sketch.

When not editing the block - the dimensions are not visible.

 

But I am expecting the OP to post some auto-dimensioned "rats-nest" sketch.  We'll see!

Hello, thank you, I succeeded thanks to the rule.


To the right click this only works when I get out of the sketch.


Is there a rule to hide the points of curves if possible? (This allows me to better see the sketch).


I want to put an A4 default drawing file and portrait instead of landscape and A3. Do you know how I should do I do not find, thank you in advance.

I can not definitely keep hidden dimensions? because when I draw a line for example and I click ok. the odds reappear.
Thank you.

Go into the Drawing Resources and create a new Sheet Format (and Border and Titleblock). 
You should create custom templates for your company.

How are you learing Inventor?

I don't know what this means.

Attach your *.ipt file here and end all doubt.
