surface finish symbol on model

Sorry for the duplication; I also put this on the modeling forum


I have a modeler / drafter that has placed a surface finish symbol on a view in his detail drawing. The guy who makes our owners manuals is complaining that now the symbol is showing up on the model. I check and sure enough, there it is! Is there a way to turn off the surface finish symbol on the model and still have it appear on the drawing detail.


The method used to place the symbol on the detail is: insert/surface finish/retreive/machined/standard1.sym. Then place on surface, etc, etc.

Like Allan said put them in a layer and hide the layer.


Or for the future you can make the symbols a different way:


insert / drawing symbol / custom


This way the symbols will not go in model will remain in drawing. And you don't have to worry putting them in layers.
