Globally selecting xyz planes in V5? 3

[dtwo]

How do you select multiple planes in order to "no show" them all at once?

 

[itsmyjob]

a quick one....

zoom out like crazy

select planes using the paint stroke option then no show

other ways :

* use the search tools for plane then no show
* KWE : create a rule

I didn't know about *pla*. Personally, I have always typed tlane. Anyone know the difference and/or limitations of one over the other?

By the way, t: seems to work with just about anything. (plane, surface, line, dimension, etc...)

there are many ways to hide planes. I like TOOLS + HIDE + ALL PLANES, when working with a CATPart.

I agree with Solid7; tlane (or t=pla*) to multi-select by element Type. That's what the Help says. Although I tried Nev's method and it works too!

There are more

I believe these to be carry overs from v4 days

.*po* for points
.*bod* for bodies
.*lin* lines

.*set* this was a guess but it works too for geometric bodies

etc....

Is there something I need to do after entering in the input bar? It goes in but nothing happens...
There was a macro posted on here a while back that auto hide the planes..I have lost it on my last computer change over..

Cheers



I don't know anything but the people that do.

Thanks Nev, I've learnt something here...

It's worth a .*star*

I'm trying to remember the Pre-V5 abbreviations, I think they were *pt, *ln, *crv, *sur, *pln, *axs and so on, or have I gone back to V1 !!

 

[solid7]

Your V4 abbreviations are correct. In fact, I still find myself typing them...

Can the power input be used on assemblies, and can you run 1 command to hide all?

 

[solid7]

I use the Edit -> Search command on assemblies. I think that you can use Power Input on Assemblies, but the syntax may be slightly different than in parts. Rather than learn, I just use the easiest method that came along...

Edit -> Search is your best friend when doing global hide/show, in my opinion.

Hi,

In addition, save your search criteria in Favorites with a name and try to use then Power Input...
