All Planes On - Nested
Overview
All Planes On All Nested shows all work planes for every component in the active assembly, including all nested components inside subassemblies.
Use this when you need maximum construction geometry visibility across the entire hierarchy (useful for troubleshooting and inspection in deeply nested assemblies).
How It Works
- Recursively iterates through all occurrences in the active assembly (all nesting levels).
- For each component document:
- Sets ShowPlanes to True (if present).
- Iterates all work planes and sets them visible.
- Updates the document.
- Component rules may override visibility for specific planes.
Usage Instructions
- Open the target assembly.
- Click All Planes On All Nested in the Configure panel.
- Review the assembly to confirm planes are visible throughout the hierarchy.
Troubleshooting
- Operation is slow on large assemblies: This command touches every component in the hierarchy. Use a top-level-only command if you don’t need nested components.
- Some planes remain hidden: Check for rules or representations inside components that override visibility.
- Too much clutter: Use an “Off” command after completing the task that required planes.
