Ben,

They are annoying when they're always on, but they're handy to look at under some circumstances. I've set mine to toggle on and off with a hot key (in my case alt-R). With a part open, (never understood why this was necessary), go to "tools-customize" and select the "keyboard" tab. On the left select "view". On the right, scroll down to "sketch relations" and assign a keyboard short cut.

This is one of the things I don't like in SolidEdge. Funny how I can now use what I learned about Edge to run SW.

I am not looking at 2005 at the moment but if I recall correctly it is Sketch Relations under the View pulldown.

That isn't a bad idea. I agree that they are useful sometimes, especially because the relations are numbered. In execution SW did a better job than SE. First, in SE you have them all piled on top of each other so you can't tell if there is one parallel, equal, etc. or many whereas SW has the icons off to the side. In SE the relation markers are always there and frequently get in the way of picking when in close quarters. I haven't figured out how to toggle them. At least in SW they can be toggled. And in SE, from what I can see, deleting the markers is the only way to delete a relation. So I guess you have to always have them visible.

My gripe is that SW put these things in ostensibly to one up SE and not because there was any real deficiency with the previous way of doing things. SW spent a lot of time programming this and added more quirkiness to the already demanding graphics display instead of working on more substantial issues like bug fixing and performance.
