How do you hide construction lines in drawing

I need to have construction lines to get intersections and dimension placements on a drawing but I can't seem to find how this is hidden.

I do however have a few solid lines and arcs that I would want displayed on the drawing.

Is there a way to filter by construction entities and blank these on a drawing?

Hi,

you published picture of your drawing. Unfortunately I do not understand how construction lines were created. Are they draft entities created in the drawing ? If this is true, then hiding them using layer is the only way I know.

Here is a view of the type of entities I would like to hide.  See the type arrowed in green.

Since my post I have discovered that I can make a new layer to the specified entity type and specifically hide this.

Is there an easier way?  I would prefer to select all of a type and just right click hide, but that isn't possible that I can see.
