To access the App Options panel, from the Tools section of the action bar, select App Options .

Assembly Path Optimization

Enable/Disable Minimum Distance Probe
Displays the minimum distance between selected moving and context objects during Track authoring, editing and simulation.
In addition, it displays the minimum distance during Track simulation for assembly sequences, manufacturing scenarios, and in the Path Planning command.
This lets you identify clearance, contact and penetration conditions along Track.
For more information, see Displaying Minimum Distance between Moving and Context Objects.
Hide All Fasteners
Hides all fasteners in the 3D and tree.
Hidden objects are ignored for clash detection, distance computation, and trap selection, allowing you to work efficiently the following commands: Track Analysis Assistant, Minimum Distance Probe, Track Plot, Manage Collections for Track, Dynamic Clash, and Path Planning.
This behavior is not persistent and fasteners will be shown each time you load the data.

By default, fasteners are shown.
Show All Fasteners
Shows all fasteners in the 3D and tree.
When the Hide All Fasteners option is on, selecting Show All Fasteners overrides the previous fasteners visibility status.

By default, fasteners are shown.
