Assembly: Is there a way to quickly force-enable visibility of all work features or origin planes/axes?

(This post started over in the Inventor main forum, but it was suggested that I try this over here.)

 

v2022.4

 

When doing an assembly, I often use origin planes or workplanes for constraining parts.

 

I also by default have individual workplane visibility turned off in each component to reduce visual clutter.

But that makes it sluggish to make assemblies: Expand the part in the feature tree, expand the Origin folder, and click the plane I want.

 

Clicking the checkboxes in View --> Object Visibility doesn't seem to affect work-features that have their visibility turned off at the part level. (Specifically, it doesn't seem to do anything at all, other than toggle the checkmark.) The corresponding keyboard shortcuts, such as Ctrl-. or Alt-], toggle those same checkmarks, therefore they also do nothing.

 

Creo had an icon to click to make all workplanes or axes or points visible, regardless of how they were set in each part file.

 

Does this sound like something for iLogic? Is there an existing iLogic script that does this?

I have created an add-in doing this.
First be sure that all files need to be write-able.
Are you using Vault with a release process?

Ok, neat!

 

All files are writable, and I do not have Vault.
