All Planes Off - Nested
Overview
All Planes Off All Nested hides all work planes for every component in the active assembly, including all nested components inside subassemblies.
Use this when plane visibility has become cluttered throughout a deep assembly hierarchy and you want a full reset to a clean view.
How It Works
- Recursively iterates through all occurrences in the active assembly (all nesting levels).
- For each component document:
- Sets ShowPlanes to False (if present).
- Iterates all work planes and sets them hidden.
- Updates the document.
- Component rules may override visibility for specific planes.
Usage Instructions
- Open the target assembly.
- Click All Planes Off All Nested in the Configure panel.
- Review the assembly to confirm planes are hidden throughout the hierarchy.
Troubleshooting
- Operation is slow on large assemblies: This command touches every component in the hierarchy. Use the top-level-only “All” command when you don’t need nested components.
- Some planes remain visible: Check for rules or representations inside components that override visibility.
