2012 - Hide & Suppress

[craneaero]

Is anyone else having problems with Hide & Suppress.
The problem with Hide is that it is no longer there on the Right Click Menu.
The problem with Suppress is that it simply deletes the item from the tree. The only way to get it back is with the back arrow.
I will put in a Support Query if anyone else can confirm the problem.

 

[ASP]

if suppressed items are not shown anymore in the design-explorer
check if in the 'suppressed features' in the 'view' menu is not unticked !

I am have the same problem with Hide & Suppress.

 

[ASP]

if you have set "hide menu" in system-options, hit the ALT-key to access the menu,
from the view menu check if "suppressed parts/subassemblies" is ticked or not.

The "Hide" button should be in the Right Click Menu (the one above suppress)

Thanks for the guidance. I now have Suppress working as before.
I still have no Hide item on the Design Explorer right click menu though.

Please take a look:
Assembly -> RMB on your part -> Hide

Assembly -> Design Explorer -> RMB -> Hide

 

[ASP]

ehm ... you are in the Assembly-Workspace, aren't you ?

 

[Ralf]

ehm ....yes.

 

[ASP]

ralf... I know that you are :wink: ,
the question goes to craneaero, because in part-workspace there is no (and there hasn't ever been) any Hide button

Christian,
I have posted an assembly screenshot, to clarify the difference: Part <-> Assembly
The "Hide" option was in V2011 and is in V2012 an assembly option, but not a part option.

Here is a V 2011 -> RMB part screenshot.

It may be just me, but I thought you could always hide features in a Part as well as Parts in an Assembly.
Maybe I am suffering feature overload with the new release.

Thanks for all the help anyway.

No, you cannot "hide" a feature in a part. You can suppress it.
