50.7 Controlling reference point display

You can use the ViewPart Display Options and the ViewAssembly Display Options menu items to control the display of reference points in the current viewport on a part or on the assembly. Turning off the display of reference points is useful for generating a clean printed image of a part or the assembly. Even though you choose not to display reference points, they are still a feature of the part or assembly. For more information on reference points, see “The reference point,” Section 11.8.1.

To control reference point display:

  1. 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.

  2. Toggle the appropriate buttons to control the display of:

    • Reference point labels

    • Reference point symbols

  3. 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.
