Feature Request: Option for hiding/showing axes/planes when sketching.

Post by jruiz »

Could it be possible to have the option of setting as default to hide/show body axes and planes when entering into sketcher?

This doesn't look to me as a big pain to go to the tree view and show/hide manually. ;)
Also a simple macro could do that. ;) Either automatically hide/show when entering sketcher, or provide a shortcut to toggle it.

For me it isn't a big pain neither...
It could be just annoying. Then, why not to avoid these "little pains"?

It will likely create more pains, people complaining that the Axes and Planes disappear after they exit a Sketch...

Current behaviour is doing almost always what I need. The BigMerge, however, brought a slight deterioration: The origin is always expanded, while it used to stay collapsed. I feel more comfortable with the collapsed origin, I rarely use the individual axes.

IMHO, different user viewpoints could coexist via options...
