Hide & unhide all text that are comments

[Marcus.Isacsson]

Hi fellas!

I would like to be able to hide & unhide all text that are "comments" made in different views.
Short information notes between co-workers that needs to be hidden during a print.

Any ideas how this could be accomplished?

Thanks in advance

Creating a "Metric Generic Annotation" with a multi line label seems to work. But is it possible to somehow give a label a subcategory?

Associate the Visibility parameter of the label with a Type FamilyParameter

In the project associate the type FamilyParameter with a global-Parameter. 

It's a " 1-click " solution.

It's worth a shot. Does it work with lines though?
Or having leaders connected to the text notes?

So basically you need to hide notes before printing, then unhide them?

I would not suggest to duplicate views or use white notes.

You can do it with Python and  Dynamo.

1. Select all views placed on sheet

2. In each of those views, select textnote with the right type (i believe you create a type just for comments), then hide it.

You must do another script to unhide.

I did the same process,  but with somes symbols and families. It works, but Autodesk should add these feature.

We're all human. We cannot rely on people never missing anything. I think the family solution or the dynamo 'hide red text' will work and are elegant.
