Demonstration of issue

The new Vanishing point assistant now has a set of rays coming from the center. Since there are a lot of them it can be distracting, especially if we have several vanishing points. Being able to hide them without having to hide assistant previews would solve this.

Current behavior: Hiding Assistants only hides the center point and not the rays.
Expected behavior: The ray should be hidden leaving only the line through the cursor.

Attached screenshot to demonstrate issue.

So what you are wanting for is that the vanishing point lines to be part of the show assistant checkbox, not the assistant preview checkbox.

Yes.

They are way too visually distracting to be always on, while the line through the cursor is fairly subtle.

Tying it to "Show assistants" instead allows you to have only the subtle line.

Any update on this? I'm relying on VP assistants heavily and they are very painful to use with all those rays displaying. :(

As a workaround, I set the Density value to 90 degrees and choose a custom colour that has low contrast with the background. This gives only a vertical and horizontal line through each vanishing Point which can be useful. If you set it to 180 degress there is just a horizontal line which is not as useful as the 90 degree situation and can be confusing.
