MAKE ALT+V THE HIDE SHORTCUT IN PART FILES TOO!

MAKE ALT+V THE HIDE SHORTCUT IN PART FILES TOO!

Alt+V is is the visibility toggle shortcut in the assembly file, and also works when editing parts in the assembly context. HOWEVER, as soon as you open the part, Alt+V doesn't work and you have to left-click, select the part, right-click for the context menu, select to toggle visibility off; or find the part in the browser, right-click and toggle off part visibility. 

 

It can be a jarring UX when switching between the Assembly to part files because you expect the same functionality but it doesn't work in the part context. 

 

The key doesn't have any other binding in the part file so there is no reason it shouldn't work and allow you to toggle the visibility of parts, solid bodies, surface bodies, planes, sketches, axis', work points and more. Left-click to select the target object, then Alt+V to toggle visibility should be the functionality across all environments.  

 

Please standardise this across the product.

Ayy that's great! I look forward to toggling the visibility of things on and off in part files and feeling smug that I played a small part in it!

我没觉得解决此问题。在图形界面,单击零部件,ALT+V的确可以快速隐藏零部件。但是,实际上工程师知道某处有隐藏的零部件,需要把鼠标放在在图形界面的对应位置,ALT+V快速显示出来。而不是在视图表达上,全部显示零部件或者在左侧特征树上找到该零部件。希望桌子公司能进也能退。
