Grouping or Hiding Objects

You can collapse branches in the schematic into a group to reduce clutter in the schematic. You can also temporarily hide an object or objects in the schematic to see different results, for example.

To group a branch:

  1. Select an object with children in the schematic view.
  2. Click Group, or right-click the parent object, and choose Group to collapse the selected object and all its children into a group.

    A blue group node appears in the schematic to represent the entire group.

    Note: Collapsed groups cannot act as parents, but you can parent nodes to a group.
  3. To uncollapse the group, click Group again, or right-click the Group node and select Ungroup.
  4. Note: Groups created in the Schematic view are not related to groups created in the Priority Editor.

To hide an object or objects:

  1. Select and object or multiple objects in the schematic view.
  2. Click Hide, or right-click the object, and choose Hide.

    (hidden) appears after the object name in the schematic.

  3. To unhide the object, click Hide again, or right-click the object and select Show.
