Hide dimensions text
-
That works perfect! Saved me from a catastrophe.
Thanks again! -
If I had put a space alone without the
''you wouldn't have seen it, and if I typed it as'space'you'd have typed it
BTW IF you want to revert to the actual dimension add<>
If you want to add text AND the actual dimension useTEXT <>and the<>part is auto-replaced with the dimension in current units.

Simpler yet, just put all your text/dimension objects on a separate Documentation layer. That way you can turn them on or off at will.

How do you separate the dimension text from the arrows?

You can't layer a dim's geometry and text separately.
However, layering dims/text IS a very useful tool...
To 'hide' a dim's text, but leave its line/arrows you have to replace the dim's text with a space ' '...
OR make/find/install a custom ttf font where all the characters are 'blank' and then use that font for your [selected] dims [temporarily], so they are not visible [but retain their text, with not further editing needed].
Later on you can swap back to a standard font - say 'Arial' - which makes the dim's text visible again... -
I started to play with this, however limited that is.
One partial solution (sort of!) is to make the text 1 point or .001 in high. That effectively makes the text almost invisible (looks like a small line)
but, and a big but... the arrowheads also disappear.

Get a 'blank ttf' Font... This 'Invisble.ttf' is OK. The 'infinity' symbol is its visible character [tiny dot]...Invisible.zip

This would be ideal to hide copyright notices within the model.
