Hide unused dimensions of coordinate system

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.5.0

In a coordinate system, the three transformations and the three rotations are displayed as dimensions by default.
Double-clicking on the coordinate system always displays all six dimensions, which can lead to errors such as selecting the wrong dimension.
Can I hide the dimensions that should not be changed?

    I do not know of any way to hide dimensions of a particular feature.

    If you don't want people to change them by accident, you could use a relation to assign the value of the ones you want to protect. That will at least keep people from editing the values directly. That is assuming you can use such dimensions in relations, of course. If it works, be sure to include some comments telling what you're doing and why. Future you will thank you.

    Hello KenFarley,

     

    that's what we're already doing today. Locking dimensions with relationships.
    Visually, it would of course also be helpful to hide other dimensions.
    Thank you for the answer!

    If you show the dimensions in the model, you can then add them to a layer, then delete the dimensions from the detail tree.  However, the drag handles will still show allowing them to be dragged if not locked by a relation.
