Question:
Is there any way to hide dimension change symbols temporarily in all the drawings in one go?
I want to keep the mark change symbols in all drawings and want to show the dimension change symbols later.

Answer:
Yes, it is possible.

Go to File > Settings > Advanced options > XS_HIGHLIGHT_ASSOCIATIVE_DIMENSION_CHANGES . Set it to FALSE.

Then, search for advanced option XS_HIGHLIGHT_MARK_CONTENT_CHANGES and set it to TRUE.

Next, reopen the drawings. All dimension change symbols should have disappeared but mark change symbols should remain visible in the drawings.

If you want to the dimension change symbols to be visible again in all drawings, you can reset the XS_HIGHLIGHT_ASSOCIATIVE_DIMENSION_CHANGES advanced option back to TRUE.
