Add ability to hide geometric datum planes

[KevinBrault]

When setting a datum plane to be a geometric target the plane is always shown in the model regardless of layer or feature settings.

This is new functionality per CS59979 "https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS59979&posno=1&q=59979&nav="https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS59979&posno=1&q=59979&nav=

This functionality is undesirable in many circumstances.

Can we have a config.pro setting to toggle this?

... click on the wrong one and can't find a way to delete it after it was created.

I've already gone round and round with customer service on this one.  Never got a satisfactory answer.  If you dig into the feature enough, it is in fact very inconsistent as sometimes it hides no matter what and other times it remains visible no matter what.

I settled for using a custom datum symbol on my drawings for GD&T.  If I need a model tag, I'll use surfaces, which are not always readily available (like cylinders).  I really and definitely DO NOT NEED TO SEE PERSISTENT DATUM PLANES WITH TAGS AT NEXT LEVEL ASSEMBLIES (note to PTC).

Dale, I've been able to delete them.  It wasn't easy.  I think if you change them to the old ASME style you get the option.  It's been a while.

At a minimum, I think these should toggle on an off with the "Plane Display". 

I have some assemblies with parts that all require GD&T, so the Assemblies just look like a cluster of unhideable datums.

I can only get these to hide if I attach a GD&T Flag Datum to a Dimension ("In Dim)".

You can temporarily hide datums but keep them selectable using the temporary shade command under the view tab.
