Hide the detail view external circle

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.

    Is there any update on this? It's inconvenient to have to insert additional views off to the side of the drawing every time you do a detail view and want to remove that outline.

    I have the same question.
    I hope that a useful solution will come soon.

    Changing the color for compasses no longer seems to have any effect on the color of the compass around the detail display.
