Relations

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!

 

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.
