Objects Isolation

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 Objects Isolation 1Isolate Objects

·         CAD drawing Objects Isolation 2Hide Objects

·         CAD drafting Objects Isolation 3 Undo isolation step

·         CAD software Objects Isolation 4 Redo isolation step

·         CAD drawing Objects Isolation 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 drafting Objects Isolation 6 Toggle Isolate button in status bar.
