Hide or Show Selected Objects

When a drawing contains lots of detail, it can sometimes be difficult to work on a particular section when some items are obstructing the desired view. Use the Hide and Show commands to hide some items and show others.

• Hide Selected Objects: Selected items remain in the model, but are hidden from the view (not displayed).
• Show All Objects: Reveals (displays) all the items that were previously hidden using the Hide Selected Objects command.

Hiding Items

To hide items in the model:

1. Do one of the following:
   • Click the Hide All but Selected Objects icon .
   • At the command line, type HIDESELECTED and then press Enter.
2. In the model, select the items you wish hide.
3. Right click or press Enter.

All selected Items should now be hidden from view (not displayed).

Displaying Hidden Items in the Drawing
