Un check under View>Sketch Relations.

Ben,

They are annoying when they're always on, but they're handy to look at under
some circumstances. I've set mine to toggle on and off with a hot key (in my
case alt-R). With a part open, (never understood why this was necessary), go
to "tools-customize" and select the "keyboard" tab. On the left select
"view". On the right, scroll down to "sketch relations" and assign a
keyboard short cut.

This is one of the things I don't like in SolidEdge. Funny how I can
now use what I learned about Edge to run SW.

 

That isn't a bad idea. I agree that they are useful sometimes,
especially because the relations are numbered. In execution SW did a
better job than SE. First, in SE you have them all piled on top of each
other so you can't tell if there is one parallel, equal, etc. or many
whereas SW has the icons off to the side. In SE the relation markers
are always there and frequently get in the way of picking when in close
quarters. I haven't figured out how to toggle them. At least in SW they
can be toggled. And in SE, from what I can see, deleting the markers is
the only way to delete a relation. So I guess you have to always have
them visible.

My gripe is that SW put these things in ostensibly to one up SE and not
because there was any real deficiency with the previous way of doing
things. SW spent a lot of time programming this and added more
quirkiness to the already demanding graphics display instead of working
on more substantial issues like bug fixing and performance.
