Hiding crop regions not working for me

[blads]

On the "tips'ntrick" main screen, it states

Hate to have to turn Crop Regions on and off in the view properties dialog? Here's the solution: Instead of turning the Crop Region on or off, leave it on all the time, then right-click on it and select "Hide Annotation in View" Now it is invisible, but you can still select it and manipulate it! - Greg Cashen

I must be doing somethin' wrong as I can NEVER get the "Hide Annotation in View" to appear on the menu pop-up...

wots the secret ?

Try selecting it before you do the right click

upon selecting it I get the grip points and break-line points then when right-clicking I NEVER get the "Hide Annotation in View" to appear ...

any other clues ? in theory it sounds like a great tip...

I just tried it and had no problems at all getting hide annotation in view to display. I selected the crop box and then right clicked on the crop box. What type of view is? My test was on a section view... Maybe it doesn't work in certain types of views...

It doesn't work on plan or 3D view crops.
It does work on Elevation and Section views.

well that explains a lot!

it would be extremely useful plan views...
