hide all dimensions
hi,
is it possible to hide all dimensions in a sketch by using a macro?

try imodeldoc2::hidedimension for your macros
here attached a help example using annotation visibility.
solidworks api help
show dimensions in drawing sheet example (vb6)
this example shows how to show all of the dimensions in a drawing sheet whether or not the dimensions are hidden or shown.
'--------
'
' problem:
' in the solidworks user interface, you can hide a dimension in a
' drawing view through the shortcut menu. the corresponding
' api to do this is imodeldoc2::hidedimension.
'
' however, in the use interface, there is no ready to show
' a hidden dimension because it must be selected.
'
' this example shows how to traverse all display dimensions
' on a drawing sheet and show them.
'
' preconditions: drawing is open and dimensions are marked for drawing.
'
' postconditions: none
'
' note: dimension is not shown if it is on a layer that
' is hidden.

please define your question a bit further. what result do you want? do you want the same result as right-click on annotations folder in the tree and un-check "show feature dimensions?" or do you want to have "show feature dimensions" checked but hide all dimensions for a certain sketch? note that i can't find a way to un-hide them after they've been hidden.
i'll get you eh steve, if it's the last thing i dooooo!
