Hiding or Showing the Sketch Absolute Axis

You can hide or show the sketch absolute axis.

This task shows you how to:

Hide the Sketch Absolute Axis Outside the Sketcher

Outside the Sketcher, for example in Part Design or in Generative Shape Design, you can hide your sketch absolute axis.

Right-click the absolute axis or one of its sub-elements (origin, H or V direction) either in the tree or in 3D area.

Select Hide/Show

The selected element is no longer displayed. It has been transferred into the No Show space. In our example, the whole absolute axis is now hidden.

Tips:

As an alternative, you can right-click the absolute axis or one of its sub-elements and select Hide/Show.
To restore the view, select the hidden element in the tree and click Hide/Show again.
When editing the sketch, after applying the Hide command to the absolute axis, all elements remain visible in the Sketcher. The Absolute Axis icon remains gray in the tree to indicate that when leaving the Sketcher it will not be visible in the work area.

You can hide one or all sub-elements of the whole sketch absolute axis once in the Sketcher.

Select one of its sub-elements either in the tree or in 3D area.
Click Hide/Show .
Here, H direction has been hidden.
Optional: Click Exit app in the standard area of the action bar to exit the Sketcher app.
When exiting the Sketcher, H direction is not visible in the work area. Its icon is gray in the tree meaning that whenever editing the sketch, H direction will not be visible in the Sketcher.

Note: Once in the Sketcher, selecting the Absolute Axis node and then applying Hide

on it has no effect.
