Showing Hidden Objects

The Show hidden objects command allows for easily selecting hidden objects to be displayed again. When the command is terminated, the previously visible objects and the selected objects are visible.

  1. Select the View > Show hidden objects menu items or the (Show hidden objects) button below the properties panel in the nailboard's / cable drawing's working window.

    Visible objects remain the same, hidden objects become transparent.
  2. Left-click on a transparent object.

    The objects become visible and therefore opaque. They are set to remain visible even after the command is terminated.
  3. Right-click on a transparent object to make it invisible. This is e.g. useful if the objects overlap and you want to select a certain object which is behind another one.
  4. Click [Cancel] in the command bar, or press [Esc] to terminate the command.

    Previously visible objects remain visible.

    Objects selected to be visible become visible.

Temporarily show hidden objects in a view

  1. Switch to the Views tab in the nailboard / cable drawing working window.
  2. Click the (Show all objects) button on the Views toolbar. Or press the [Alt] + [H] shortcut key.

    Note:

    To use the shortcut, the Views tab does not have to be activated.

    All hidden objects are displayed.
  3. Since the hidden objects are displayed only temporarily, they will become invisible again if you switch to a different view and back to the current one. All objects are visible as they originally were when the view was created.
