Should OpenGL be rendering Hinge Direction Markers when Draw Edges is unchecked?

[Christiaan]

I'm not sure I agree with the logic of OpenGL rendering Hinge Direction Markers when Draw Edges is unchecked. What do you think?

 

Under OpenGL settings I have Draw Edges unchecked and I'm using Hidden Line foreground render instead. You can see in the attached screenshot that despite having Draw Edges unchecked OpenGL is also rendering the Hinge Direction Markers, which makes them look clumsy, so I'd rather they were just in Hidden Line.

 

The only workaround I can think of for this currently is to overlay a separate viewport with Hidden Line render only, But I find that workflow too much of an arse.

Bumping this one for more opinions. Think I'm going to submit it as a bug.

Can't the hinge markers just be in a separate class? You can just turn them off.

@Christiaan wants them on in Hidden Line but off in Shaded whilst using both render modes simultaneously

Ahhhh yes, thanks for the clarification, it shows the blurry Shaded lines in addition to the Hidden lines. 

I do agree this is a bug. It should only be Hidden Line.

I can only guess that Shaded edges are not planar objects whereas the hinge markers are...? Therefore might be an enhancement request rather than a bug...
