Axes visibility in scenes

[taydin]

I have created an extra scene which I want to use for dimensions display. And because the axes are getting in the way, I want the axes to not be visible in this extra scene. But whatever I tried, it doesn’t work. The forum has several posts about this, but neither is solving my problem.

I create the new scene, make axes invisible, and then update the scene, with “axes visibility” checked. Doesn’t help, after navigating scenes, the axes are coming back.

I changed the default style so that axes are not visible, but this causes the problem to be reversed, no axes in any scene.

I want axes in my “working scene” and no axes in my “dimensions scene”. How do I do this?

And as a side note, copying the version information in the “About” dialog box is not possible, so I had to take a screen grab

Create two styles.

Hmm, so there is a way to associate a style with a particular scene? I’m trying to find how to do that …

If I selected a style, then update the scene, then select another stle and update the other scene, the last style remains active …

Yes, a scene can remember which style is active when you create it. Axis are controlled by style, so you need to have a style with the axis on and a style with the axis off and create 2 scenes.

What does having the axis on have to do with adding dimensions?

The presence of the axes reduces the places where I can place dimensions. So if I want to view dimensions, I’d rather not have any axis clutter.

Thank you, that was the issue. I had to be in the desired style before creating the scene. This ties that style to that scene.

or you can select the scene, choose the style you want, and update the scene
