Control the Objects Visibility

Objects Isolation

The isolation commands control the visibility of objects by isolating or hiding a selection set. Use ISOLATEOBJECTS and HIDEOBJECTS to create a temporary drawing view with selected objects isolated or hidden.

The commands are used to create a temporary view of the document when you need to hide the selected objects, or isolate - leave visible only the selected objects, hiding all others.

The commands for controlling the display of objects are located in context menu and Tools – Isolate Objects menu:

·         CAD software Control the Objects Visibility 1Isolate Objects

·         CAD drawing Control the Objects Visibility 2Hide Objects

·         CAD drafting Control the Objects Visibility 3 Undo isolation step

·         CAD software Control the Objects Visibility 4 Redo isolation step

·         CAD drawing Control the Objects Visibility 5Unisolate objects

Note

Isolation and its undo is independent of the general undo-redo mechanism (UNDO/REDO). For example, you can isolate a set of objects, edit them, and then roll the isolation back to a previous visibility state. In this case, all changes for the edited objects will remain.

Control the display of objects placed in the menu of CAD software Control the Objects Visibility 7 Toggle Isolate button in status bar.

Isolate objects mode:

Persistent isolation

Selected objects stay hidden or isolated after save, close and reopen of drawing.

Temporary isolation

Selected objects are isolated or hidden in the current program session.

Button form and menu composition depends on the presence of hidden and isolated objects:

CAD drawing Control the Objects Visibility 8 - there are no hidden and isolated objects in the drawing.

Available functions:

Isolate objects

Hide objects

CAD drafting Control the Objects Visibility 9

CAD software Control the Objects Visibility 10 - there are hidden and isolated objects in the drawing.

Available functions:

Isolate more objects

Hide more objects

Unisolate objects in current layout

Unisolate objects in all layouts

Undo isolation step

Redo isolation step
