Isolate Objects per Paper Space Viewport

When a drawing contains lots of detail it can be difficult to work on a particular section without having to avoid other items. This is where the Isolate Selected Objects in Viewport command become useful.

The function includes two commands:

• Isolate Selected Objects: Allows the user to select a group of items then hide all the other objects not in the selection.
• Show All Objects: Allows the user to reveal all the items hidden by the Isolate Selected Objects in Viewport command.
