See this article. This explains when PTC "broke" the previous behavior.

Use this button:

or config.pro option:

display_axis_tags no

 

 

or collect the tag on a layer and hide this layer...

    We use layers with rules to hide them.  Checking the Associative option, the rules will be applied to existing and new features.  Unchecking it, the rules will only be applied to new features.

    Yes, thank you all for your replies. We use these methods to control axis tag display in "models" too.

    For the model, I want the config.pro option display_axis_tag yes so that when I am designing,  I can see and discriminate between axes when axes are visible in the model.

    In "drawing mode" however, I am not interested in having the the axis tags showing in the views - I only want to have the axis visible itself. Is there not a dtl option to control this? Are layers to collect tags my only resort for this?

    Layers and Axis Tag Display are the two options available.  There is no way to automatically change these settings between "model" mode and "drawing" mode.  The axis and axis tags are model features.
