You are using the history based version based on the screenshot that you shared. There is the history button on the right. It’s not possible to disable it. You can hide the sketches instead of deleting them.

sir, I want to know what if we keep these sketches even the related model has been deleted. may it affect the render performance, i was quite worry about it sometime. would it be better to delete them too? 🤔

It does not affect performance.

Maybe it’s worth to think about “turn on/off” function for history (just like that done in Fusion 360). Not everyone appreciate this functionality as I do.

We won’t implement turning off history, but there will be an option to collapse the feature tree and get rid of the recorded steps.

For me that’s more then enough. Will be very useful.

Collapsing the feature tree will remove all dependencies.

When dependencies will be removed then you’ll be able to delete sketches without deleting objects. As far as I understand.

I now have a “Junk” folder in each of my projects. The folder is hidden, and I drag all the sketches and planes into when I am done with them. Kind of annoying, but it works.

I have been using Shapr3D for years and happy with it. But if parametric modelling is mandatory, I will go back to Fusion when my subscription expires. I can live with presence of many features, that I do not use, but I am not going to change the whole way I work.

You can use Shapr3D just like before. The only major difference is that you should hide your sketchces instead of deleting them. We’ll also add a feature to collapse the history.

> After the 8 months long public beta testing period of this new feature with thousands users, we didn’t get feedback on this issue. We did not expect that for some users hiding sketches instead of deleting them will be such a dramatic change. That being said, we’ll add a button in the next few weeks that will flatten the current design history, thus you’ll be able to delete the sketches that you created up until then, without changing the bodies. Until we release this, if you find this new feat…

Same here. Considering moving to a competitor.

Agreed. This is so dumb. Forcing the end users who pay them to change their workflow instead of simply allowing to turn off history.
