Hello there. I am currently new to Solidworks using the 2020 version and following the in application tutorials. I am doing "Basic techniques" on the "Displaying Dimensions" section. It says after I right-click the Annotations Folder in the FeatureManager design tree to click "Show Feature Dimensions." Then if I right-click a dimension I should be able to select hide on that individual selections but hide never appears for me. on and dimension. I can hide the lines and segments but not the actual value. Also if I go to the annotations toolbar tab I can not figure any way to get the Hide/Show Annotations tool to not be grey and become selectable. I am at a lost as to what to do so any info is helpful at this point.
Hi Shawn, you can add 'Hide/Show Annotation' command to the annotation toolbar, it's very useful to me too.
RMB on Toolbar area > Customize... > drag and drop the command icon to the toolbar
When the Hide/Show is toggled on you can click on the annotation you want to hide, then the hidden annotations will appear light grey. When the command is toogled back off, the hidden annotations are not visible any more.
If you want to show a hidden annotation, toggle Hide/Show on and click on greyed annotation.
Below is an example of Hide/Show toggled on and a hidden dimension
Hope it helps
