How do I hide all Axis Systems WITHOUT expanding the tree?
I have a large assembly part and I want to hide all axis systems without expanding the tree to expose(?) all body parts. But obviously if I dont do that and click hide on an axis system it hides the body part as well.
I use v6 but I suppose it's the same way with v5 as well.

I've seen this problem many times. Not sure about V6, but here's what to do with V5. With the assembly open you can do a Edit + Search to Find and Select all the Axis Systems in all the parts, and then Hide them all in one operation. (Let me know if you need the specific steps)
Since Hide/Show is a "toggle" operation, the first time you do this will probably Show all the Axis Systems. So, you will have to repeat the steps.
Depending on how complex the assembly is, this might take awhile.
(I teach all of my students to always Hide all Planes and all Axis Systems before they save each part - then this situation never happens)
