Disable Temporary axes.

[Frank_Oostendorp]

I use temporary axis regularly for sketches and mates. While it is handy not to have to turn on temporary axis to do this, it would have been about 236th on my list of priorities for the software.

It’s one click to switch them on or off, if you create a menu for it. Quick on and off visibility for origins, curves, axis, temporary axis, etc. Has been available for multiple years.

Yes, and with this new feature, it is 0 clicks.

Isn’t this the same menu as this..?

When I turn this on… I get this..

It displays every cylindrical axis in the model..

However, having it turned off, does not prohibit the SW from pausing to create the axis whenever I hover for a fraction of a second on any cylindrical or conical face. It is a new behaviour that I do not desire/require. Nor can I seem to turn it off.
I was only asking if it was possible to disable it entirely.
(It turns out this was a “feature” that was thrust upon me and I’ve no way to turn it off.
And now, a disabling functionality has been implemented in a SP that I cannot have, my VAR will not give it to me because Solidworks says..,
"No SP for Damo unless he goes back on subscription.. and pays 6months backdating. And he better do it before Jan 2023 or there will only be 4 year subs available..!!? But this is quite likely a very different discussion.. I really hate all these people… )

Don’t waste your energy on these people.
All I wanted to make clear, that all elements of reference, like temporary axes, planes, origins etc. already had a way to switch the visibility on and of. The new feature of automatic showing temporary axes will be expanded with automatic showing origins, planes, sketches, grid etc. until it becomes un-usable.

Welcome to the world of SW roulette. Upgrade at your own risk. What is broken in the new version may be worse than what is broken in the version you are using.

You’ve probably learned this lesson the hard way; I would not upgrade past whatever SP5 is available to me. When I went off subscription in 2021, I didn’t upgrade past 2020 Sp5.

yes. and good timing too.. 2021 was a horrorshow for me..
Most unstable version I ever used.
I almost gave up completely and quit the entire industry.
I went to 2022 in sheer desperation. My faith was somewhat restored.
