Making dimensions non-viewable (hidden)

As not all component dimensions are needed on the screen, to prevent visual clutter, you can set less critical dimensions not to appear.

Setting dimensions as non-viewable (hidden)

  1. In the graphical area, right-click, and then check Show Dimensions.
  2. Locate the dimension line that you want to set as hidden, and then right-click it.
  3. Click Hide on the context menu.

The next time you right-click and check Show Dimensions, the dimension will not appear on the screen.

Setting component dimensions as non-viewable (hidden)

  1. Right-click a component, point to View, and then check Dimensions. Then repeat, and check Hidden Objects.

All the dimensions in the component appear on the screen.

  1. Locate the dimension line that you want to set as hidden, and then right-click it.
  2. Click Hide on the context menu.

Next time you right-click and check Show Dimensions, the dimension line will not appear even when Hidden Objects on the global Show menu is checked.

NOTE: After you have selected the component (Step 1), as an alternative for Steps 2 and 3 you can also click Dimensions on the contextual edit bar, and then consecutively check Dimensions and Hidden Objects in the drop-down menu that appears.
