Is it possible to hide the X-Y-Z triad of a tracking system?

Altair Forum User

I would like to be able to hide the X-Y-Z axes of a tracking system.  I can turn off the Global axes in the Preferences>Options>Appearance panel, but I can't find a similar option for shutting off the tracking system axes.

Altair Forum User

SOLVED:

Right click in the model browser tree and select 'Hide'.

Thank you for the tip ;-)

Hi!

 

is there a tcl/tk command in order to hide the  Global axes in Hyperview? I need for a scrip ;-)

 

In other words I want to do is to turn off the Global axes like with  the Preferences>Options>Appearance Panel, but with a tcl script

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

I'm just placing the two lines

 

                    set ::post::optionsdialog::axes false;

                   ::post::optionsdialog::OnButtonPressed 1;

 

in a bigger script and I'm getting following error:

 

--------------------

Where's the 'bigger script' ?

tinh

That's why i put it in 'catch' command

perhaps you need to open appearance panel once before run your scrip

 

or add below code once when start hyperview:

 

after 50 destroy .postOptionsDialog;::hw::ExecuteMenuItem 263; 

Altair Forum User

Tinh,

 

you are right!! /emoticons/default_wink.png' alt=';)' srcset='/emoticons/wink@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'>  If I firstly open the appearance pannel, then my script including the two added lines works quite well by turning the axes off and afterward again on.

 

The question is how can I automatically open that Panel before I run my script. You wrote  about doing that when hyperview was started. Could you give me more Details about that?

 

The best solution would be to add some code in my script to open the apperance Panel automatically in order to get the two lines:

-------------------------------------------------

         set ::post::optionsdialog::axes false

        ::post::optionsdialog::OnButtonPressed 1

---------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your advice!

tinh

ah, you need not to open it once when starting hv.

 

try add below code into your script

 if {[catch { 
         set ::post::optionsdialog::axes false
         ::post::optionsdialog::OnButtonPressed 1
 }]} {
         after 50 { destroy .postOptionsDialog;update
                        set ::post::optionsdialog::axes false
                        ::post::optionsdialog::OnButtonPressed 1}
         ::hw::ExecuteMenuItem 263; 
 }

Hi Tinh!

 

I copied the code that you posted but the problem persists. i.e. I always Need first to open the appearance panel in order to get  the axes to disapper.

 

The script works but at the end I always got the following error:

 

-----------------------------------------

can't read 'fgc': no such variable
can't read 'fgc': no such variable
    while executing
'# Compiled -- no source code available

Hi Alfredo

could you try increasing the number follow 'after' from 50 to 100, 200, 500,...?

Hallo Tinh,

 

I tried it too, but the same error message came.
