Object Visibility

[engilic]

Hi,

1. Is it possible to capture the state of checkboxes and then decide whether to do the Command Manager command or not, since it just goes alternately between on and off?

2. Is it possible to control them through objects not just through Command Manager?

3. Is it possible to control features that are within All Workfeatures separately, not just by turning all of them on or off?

This post is good as a partial solution but I do not know which one to apply since I do not know which one is on:

Just want to capture users settings regarding Object Visibility, do the changes, do the job, and give back the original settings to the user (shouldn't every code do that unless you want permanent changes?).

Thank you

I think I found it, not sure, not tested it.

I did not know about this function but it works better than my other solution.

        Dim doc As AssemblyDocument = ThisDoc.Document
        Dim vis = doc.ObjectVisibility

        If (vis.AllWorkFeatures) Then
            vis.AllWorkFeatures = False
            vis.ConstructionSurfaces = False
            vis.Sketches = False
            vis.Sketches3D = False
            vis.SketchDimensions = False
            vis.Annotations3D = False
            vis.ComponentAnnotations3D = False
            vis.Welds = False
            vis.WeldmentSymbols = False
        Else
            vis.AllWorkFeatures = True
            vis.ConstructionSurfaces = True
            vis.Sketches = True
            vis.Sketches3D = True
            vis.SketchDimensions = True
            vis.Annotations3D = True
            vis.ComponentAnnotations3D = True
            vis.Welds = True
            vis.WeldmentSymbols = True
        End If
