Some time we find it cumbersome to hide all the planes of a huge assembly file in one go. Here is an script using which you can hide all the planes in one go -
Language="VBSCRIPT"
Sub CATMain()
Set productDocument1 = CATIA.ActiveDocument
Set selection1 = productDocument1.Selection
selection1.Search "CATPrtSearch.Plane.Visibility=Visible,all"
Set VisPropSet1 = Selection1.VisProperties
VisPropSet1.SetShow catVisPropertyNoShowAttr
End Sub
This is a generic script it can be modified as per purpose to perform the same activity for other elements also.
