3D canvas filter window disappears

Starbuck53

Dear Support,

I'd like to display the 3D canvas filter popup windows when I launch the 3D viewer.

I checked the "Do not show this dialog again" and I'm not able to reactivate this window...

As a result, I cannot select the object I want to display and all the step exports are very huge because the board embeds a lot of via, traces, text.... (several mo...).

Could you please help me?

Thank you very much,

Kind regards.

    Hi Starbuck53, when you select "Do not show this dialog again"  , "hide_unified_filter_dialog" variable got enabled in the Setup > User Preferences. So if you want to enable this dialog box again, go to Setup > User Preferences > Display > 3D and uncheck this variable. Apply the changes and reinvoke 3D canvas .You should be able to see this again.
