Hide the detail view external circle

florianflorian Member, OS Professional Posts: 110 ✭✭✭
Is there a way to hide the circle surrounding a detail view (1) in a drawing? You can set the color of the parent circle (2) to almost completely white (#FFFFFE) under (3) but there is no feature to get rid of (1)?


This is what I would like:

    @florian setting the color to reduce the visibility is a clever workaround trick!

    @romeograham but that trick works only on the left circle where you don't need it. The second drawing is manually edited.

    There is another workaround that is not parametric:
    1. Draw a detail circle
    2. Move the view off to the side off the DRW
    3. Insert a new view and crop it to what you need
    4. Move the detail label to your new cropped view

    This should be a show/hide option in the detail view itself, but it's not there. This "border" in the detail view can be very confusing and or cause clutter especially when you're not using a circular detail profile. OnShape team?

    @andrew_brady909 Detail view style controls are something we have on our radar to improve.  Not many controls on this at the moment other than what has been mentioned already here.
