Relations

Jun 13, 2006 5 Replies

Hello,



Recently I switch to SWX2006 from 2004.



When modifying a sketch, you get these little blue squares showing relations.



Sometimes they get on the way, blocking dimensions or other features. Is there a way to turn them off?



Thank you for ALL your help!


In the toolbar go to View > View Relations to toggle the switch.

Regards,

Anna Wood

I and others here have this on a hotkey, sometimes those little blue square are very useful and a quick way to edit. They do become irritating when they flood the screen though.

SWX has copied this functionality from I-Deas (and possibly others). However, what you can do in I-Deas is rescale the symbol display size by zooming in and forcing a re-draw. This makes the symbols appear smaller, so you get the benefit of them without cluttering the screen.

Maybe we should all ask for this enhancement.

Something else I find a pain, is that when I am dimensioning a sketch, if the symbols are visible, it seems to preferentially choose these rather than the lines/arcs I'm trying to select. Why on earth it doesn't exclude these entities when the dimension command is active is byond me.

In the sketch mode of that part, click on tool --- relations ---- display/delete to turn on and off the "blue relations"
