This tool provides this ability to temporarily and permanently blank out objects, regardless of their layer.
Keyboard Command: ObjVisCon
- Blank: Used to temporarily blank out objects, they return to the screen on the next redraw.
- Redrawall: Used to restore all blanked out objects. Redraw works as well.
- Hide: Used to permanently hide objects, they DO NOT return to the screen on the next redraw, or regen.
- UnhideAll: Used to restore all hidden objects.
Warning:
The ability to hide objects in a drawing can provide convenience in plotting, viewing, etc. It could even be used to put an invisible marker in the drawing on layer 0. However, the objects that are hidden cannot be un-hidden without ToolPac or another specialized tool with similar capabilities. Almost all other systems will not be able to un-hide these objects. This effect may or may not be desirable.
