We have the drawing node file type turned on in the Admin Tool for the Solidworks file types. Sometimes it's nice, sometimes they are in the way and make the Contains tab too busy. Here's a small example, in larger assemblies with just the Top Level Only shown we'll have several dozen files, showing the drawings for each of them can more than double it when some parts are referenced in extra views of dozens of drawings.
Is there a way the user can toggle the drawing nodes on/off?
Is there a way to not show "drawing nodes" from the client side?

No, it seems to be all or nothing. I hate they don't have an option on the Contains and other screens to filter them off.

I don't mean to be ungrateful Jason, but I don't like most of your answers.jcapriotti wrote: ↑Wed Sep 08, 2021 4:54 pm No, it seems to be all or nothing. I hate they don't have an option on the Contains and other screens to filter them off.

I know, I really do hate being the bearer of bad news. I could lie to you instead

One of our users learned that selecting a specific configuration seems to turn off the drawing nodes in the view. Has obvious side effects that depend on your usage of configurations.
