View Types - Multiple Select - So simple, I've missed it??

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by Andrew Wilson, Mar 3, 2006.

  1. Is there a way to multiple select / deselect view types (e.g.- Planes,
    Temporary Axes, Sketches etc, etc...).
    Of course they can all be hidden by "Hide All Types" but what about
    when you are trying to select / deselect only 2 or 3 options without
    having to click View to activate the drop dpwn menu each time.
    What simple trick have I missed, leading to my embarrassingly simple
    question...

  2. Yeah... I guess they would work just as well.

    I just thought they might have a stay open option like assembly mates
    where you can close after making all the selections you require.

    Thanks.

    Pretty agravating. I wonder how long Kroger would stay open if you had
    to go through the checkout line, once for a banana, once for an apple
    and then again for an orange.

    I just saw this macro recently posted. I could not find the
    location/author I downloaded it from, so I uploaded it to:
    http://www.mytempdir.com/495475

    Seemed pretty handy.

  6. I had a look at this, but I don't think there are toolbar icons
    available to view temporary axes, planes etc. (please tell me if I'm
    wrong) only to create planes, axes etc.
