    SolidWorks 2010 and SolidCam

    Hello
    After we have updated to SolidWorks 2010 will all plane pop up every time we load a program up in SolidCam.
    Does anyone know how to get it off by default.

    With Best Regards
    Thrill

    This is a SolidWorks thing because in your default part template (part.slddot) has got planes set to visible. To turn off by default,youn need to open up your part template (of which there may be multiple copies so make sure you get the right one) and resave as a template and not as a part.

    Alternatively you can set up a keyboard shortcut to turn off all planes. or writa a macro that will traverse a feature tree and set all planes to "hidden" - the benefit of the latter will be you can choose indivual planes to "show" afterwards.
