Apply a Filter

You can apply multiple selection filters to the same view.

If multiple selection filters are applied to the same view, the order in which they are listed denotes priority. The selection filter nearest the top of the list takes precedence.

1. Open the Filters tab of the Visibility/Graphic Overrides dialog, using one of the following methods:
   • Click View tabGraphics panel (Visibility/Graphics), and click the Filters tab.
   • Select an element in the drawing area, and click Modify | <Element> tabView panelOverride Graphics in View drop-down (Override By Filter).
   • Select an element in the drawing area, and click Modify | <Element> tabView panelHide in View drop-down (Hide By Filter).
2. Click Add.

   The Filters dialog opens, which contains a list of filters created in the project. If no filters exist in the project, click Edit/New to create a filter.

3. Select a filter, and click OK.
4. Select or clear the Visibility check box to turn visibility of the filtered object on or off.
5. Override the projection, surface, and cut line styles and projection patterns as necessary.
6. Check the Halftone option to make filtered objects appear at halftone.
7. Check the Transparent option to make filtered objects transparent.
8. Click OK or Apply to activate the filter for that view.

   Filters are view-specific. OK activates the filter and closes the dialog. Apply activates the filter and keeps the dialog open.
