Keeping shaded cosmetic thread but remove visibility of circle 1

[prokopy]

Hello,

I have a quick question about cosmetic threads. I use them all the time and I have shaded cosmetic thread enabled. My question is when I build an assembly the shaded cosmetic thread is there but there is also the circle on the edge where the cosmetic thread was created. In the assembly I find it very annoying because these circles are shown, even if there are other solid bodies infront. I was wondering if there was a way to keep the look of the shaded cosmetic thread but hide the circle so it does not show up in the assembly. I mostly work with farly large assemblies and these circles are everywhere. When I try to hide the cosmetic thread, the shaded cosmetic thread disappears. Is there any other ways around this. Thanks

sounds weird, but hide the circle in the assembly and then refresh the individual models and the circle should disappear leaving the cosmetic thread. it usually works.

hope it works for you.

Im not quite sure what you mean by refresh the individual models. Ctrl-R each part?

When I switch off the View > All Annotations option, the dashed circles cease to be shown, but the shaded thread remains. (SW2010-SP4.0)

That is exactly what I wanted. Perfect thank you very much!!

CBL,

I wonder if that is new. I use SW2008 for production and that does not work in that version.

Cheers,

I suspect it may be new. I seem to remember that disabling the All Annotations option would also remove the shaded thread.

... or maybe it's a just a malfunctioning bug in this version. Better keep quiet about it or they might fix it.

Anna,

The method CBL mentioned works for me in SW2008. I'm pretty sure it worked as far back as 2006 also.

Hmmmmm...... Must be another setting I am missing with that then. Something I need to check out.

Thanks for setting me straight.
