Work plane and origin plane visibility shortcuts Alt-] and Ctrl-] do not do anything.

I just today finally saw a post that mentioned these shortcuts.

I tried them in an assembly.

I'm not seeing anything happening though. No planes turn on/off or toggle.

So I'm assuming that if I do Ctrl-], all origin workplanes should toggle visibility?

I checked Customize and confirmed that the default keyboard combos are indeed assigned to the work feature visibility activation.

I tried it with specific components selected, and with nothing selected, and still, I see no visible change.

Other shortcuts work just fine. For example, Alt-C brings up Create Drawing View, and Ctrl-Shift-E shows degrees of freedom.

Interesting though, despite nothing visible happening at the model, "Work Feature Visibility" does appear in the Undo history when I use the keyboard shortcuts.

Version: 2024.1.1. (I installed the update, but Inventor's Help-->About window still only says 2024 for the version.)

Edit: A few other Work Feature shortcuts don't work either.

;  create grounded workpoint

/  creates a work axis

]  creates a work plane

.  creates a work point

If I press any of these, nothing happens: No work feature, and nothing in the Undo history.

Some of these have been deprecated/obsoleted. I think Autodesk just stopped updating some of them.
This guide is old:

They're still in the Customize window though. If they deprecated those functions, they didn't do a thorough job.

Ok, found them... they alter the Object visibility, not the origin planes visibility:

Ok, so I messed around with this a bit more: If I select an Origin Plane and enable Visibility, and then I do Ctrl-] repeatedly, that toggles that plane back and forth just as I'd expect.

If I select an Origin Plane and click to turn off visibility, or do Alt-V, then Ctrl-] does nothing except add to the Undo stack.

- So making a work feature invisible by unchecking Visibility (or Alt-V) is also used as a status-lock by Inventor.

- Making a work feature visible by checking visibility (or Alt-V) does not lock its status.

The assembly I was working on happened to have very few workplanes, and I had disabled visibility on all of them just out of habit, rendering the visibility shortcuts unable to affect them.

I guess that method is actually handy, though perhaps undocumented. Keeps hidden work features out of the way.

Thank you for the boost, that got me pointed in the right direction, this should be real useful now.
