You can use the View
Part Display Options and the ViewAssembly Display Options menu items to control the display of datum geometry in parts and the assembly in the current viewport. You can control the display of each of the datum types—points, axes, planes, and coordinate systems. Datum geometry that you choose not to display, although invisible, is still a feature of the part or assembly. For more information on datum geometry, see Chapter 40, “The Datum toolset.” You can also control the display of reference points; for more information, see “The reference point,” Section 11.8.1.
Datum geometry created on parts can be distracting when you are assembling instances of the part; turning off the display of datum geometry can result in a clearer display of the assembly. Similarly, turning off the display of datum geometry is useful for generating a clean printed image of a part or assembly.
To control datum display:
Locate the Datum display options.
From the main menu bar, select ViewPart Display Options or ViewAssembly Display Options. Click the Datum tab in the dialog box that appears.
Toggle the appropriate buttons to control the display of:
Datum points
Datum axes
Datum planes
Datum coordinate systems
Click OK to implement your changes and to close the dialog box.
Your changes apply only to the current viewport and are saved for the duration of the session.
