I am having a brain dump right now. I am trying to go to the View menu and show Planes and hide my Sketches but everything is grayed out at the assembly level. (If I open the parts, I can see these items and select/deselect them) I can't even select "Hide all types" right now.
Any assistance...
It appears that we are getting close to a solution with this. We are working with our VAR(Alignex/Bloomington,MN rocks!). I'll let you know what we come up with.

We've been using Material, Finish and Heat Treat as Custom Properties and actually have start parts for common materials with these Custom Properties defined. The density and color is also defined in our start parts. Over time, we've added more materials and are finding it cumbersome to sift...
Thanks tl. I am a bit confused with all of what you said. We aren't always creating schematics, perhaps an average of 3 a month. Some are pneumatics, some are electrical and some are a combo. Knowing this, should we stick w/ the 2D stuff or is it worth pursuing what you are talking about?
I'm sorry, I should have mentioned that we have used AutoCAD but we use it infrequent enough that we've lost most of the skill we had to use it fluently. I am thinking of a software like Visio that can be used directly with SW but is perhaps better.....
Wondering if anyone out there creates schematics in SolidWorks. What works the best? Right now we are painfully sketching them in the SolidWorks Drawing.
