SketchEntity Visibility Hide/Unhide

[Inventor30Dev]

I was not able to hide SketchEntities within a PartDocument.

There is no "Visibile" Property.

If i unterstood correctly the SketchEntity has a Layer property which has a Visibility property, as in: SketchEntity.Layer.Visible

but I was not able to assign any Layer since i didn't find a way to get access to Layers within a PartDocument.

DrawingDocument on the other hand has a StylesManager which has 100 different Layers to chose from. I have even tried to take the Layers from there and assign it to SketchEntity.Layer which gave an exception.

At the moment a workaround is used where the data from the SketchEntity is saved and the SketchEntity Deleted and Recreated when needed. But constrains will then be lost.

Any suggestions?

If you are just trying to change the visibility of a sketch in a part document, there is no "Layer" property.

Dim oDoc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document

For Each oSketch As PlanarSketch In oDoc.ComponentDefinition.Sketches
	
	oSketch.Visible = False
	
Next

Try this, hide and unhide in 1 button

Option Explicit

Sub ShowHideSketches()

If countSketchShow = 1 Then
    Call HideSketches
Else: Call ShowSketches
End If

End Sub

Sub ShowSketches()

Dim doc As PartDocument
Set doc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oSketch As PlanarSketch

For Each oSketch In doc.ComponentDefinition.Sketches
        oSketch.Visible = True
Next

End Sub

Sub HideSketches()

Dim doc As PartDocument
Set doc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oSketch As PlanarSketch

For Each oSketch In doc.ComponentDefinition.Sketches
        oSketch.Visible = False
Next

End Sub

Function countSketchShow() As Integer

Dim doc As PartDocument
Set doc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oSketch As PlanarSketch
Dim count As Integer

For Each oSketch In doc.ComponentDefinition.Sketches
        If oSketch.Visible = True Then
            count = count + 1
            Exit For
        End If
Next

countSketchShow = count

End Function

Thank you for the responses.
But I need to be able to hide a single SketchEntity within a Sketch,
not all the SketchEntities like in both code examples above.
Is there any solution for that?

Are you talking about hiding a line WITHIN a sketch? That's not possible, and should not be apart of any workflow.
