How to turn off display of PCS frames of parts in ACAR templates?

Question

Hello everyone,

How is possible to turn off display of parts (yellow frames) in templates? I am using ACAR 2022.2. ALL parts are turned on in template interface by default now and i can not figure how to turn off display of parts frames. I can turn on/off hardpoints, joints icons,... except turning off part frames.

Thanks

Jozef

The LPRFs are turned on when going to the template builder and turned off when going to the standard interface. Going back and forth between the two interfaces is controlled by the switch macros (.ACAR.macros.mac_int_swi_tem & .ACAR.macros.mac_int_swi_aca).

The standard interface switch macro (.ACAR.macros.mac_int_swi_aca) contains this command:

display_attributes visibility geometry &

geometry_name=.icons.part_axis &

visibility=off

You can use this command to switch the LPRFs off when you are in the template builder.

Switching to standard interface and back to template builder will again turn on the visibility of the LPRFs.

If you want to permanently switch of the LPRFs in the template builder, you can create a custom macro for the template builder switch macro (mac_int_swi_tem_custom) which will be called by the .ACAR.macros.mac_int_swi_tem macro at the end of it's execution. Placing the above command in the custom macro will make the LPRFs always off.
