Hiding all sketches in assembly drawing

[TeejT]

Whenever I make SLDDRWs of assemblies I have numerous sketches that need to be eliminated for clarity. I have been going through and individually right-clicking them and then clicking Hide. The other way I've done this is turning them off from View -> Sketches. But, if I do it this latter way, if I send the SLDDRW to someone else will they still possibly see the sketches in the SLDDRW unless they ALSO turn off View -> Sketches?
Thank you!

Check the setting in you template.

Where exactly am I checking in the template settings?

You can try in Main Menu: View->Hide all Types, or uncheck Sketches.

Right-click on your drawing and select Edit Sheet Format. Uncheck the View/Sketches. Save as a template.

Eltron,
I don't want to save that setting to the template, but I guess what I'm asking is whether the View/Sketches setting (ON/OFF) remains with the SLDDRW file or not or whether it's local to the computer. Say for a certain SLDDRW I turn OFF View/Sketches, then send the SLDDRW file to someone who opens it. Will the sketches be OFF for him, or is it possible they'd be ON?
Thanks.

TeejT,

I make a practice of shutting off all origins, sketches and planes, and I leave my part and assembly models and drawings set to view this stuff. This allows me to turn them on when I want. I see the ones I am interested in. I do my model changes, then I turn them off. I wish my co-workers would turn stuff off. I hate having to click on Hike all types, but sometimes, I have to.

Hide the non-model featuresa and try to reason with your co-workers. I do not think there is an other way.

Could a macro be used to interrogate the components of an assy, and hide any shown sketches?

You can try using the 'Hide All Assembly Sketches' macro on the

http://sw.fcsuper.com

website. I believe it only works on assemblies but once the sketches are hidden in the assemblies they should also be hidden in the drawing.

Or maybe the macro can be modified to work for drawings.
