Planes Off - All
Overview
Planes Off All hides the primary work planes (1, 2, and 3) for all top-level components in the active assembly. Nested components (inside subassemblies) are not processed.
Use this to quickly declutter the graphics window across the main assembly while leaving nested items unchanged.
How It Works
- Iterates through all top-level component occurrences in the active assembly.
- For each component document:
- Sets planes 1, 2, and 3 hidden.
- If the component contains ShowPlanes and rules that use it, custom planes can be driven hidden as well.
- Does not traverse into nested occurrences inside subassemblies.
Usage Instructions
- Open the assembly you want to clean up.
- Click Planes Off All in the Configure panel.
- Review top-level components to confirm planes are hidden.
Troubleshooting
- Some planes remain visible: A component rule or design view representation may be overriding visibility.
- Nested components did not change: This command affects only top-level occurrences. Use Planes Off All Nested for recursive behavior.
