Hidden objects

Purpose

When objects are hidden from view, they are also effectively hidden from the program; editing and most alignment functions do not apply to hidden objects.

Procedures

Hide objects

To hide objects, click Select Objects, then click the objects to select them, right-click and select Hide Selected ... .

Objects must be restored—not just unhidden—before they can be operated upon in editing mode.

Restoring hidden objects

1. Click Select Objects.

2. Right-click in the Main window and select Reveal Hidden Objects. Revealed objects appear in an olive green color. They are still hidden from the program.

3. Select the revealed objects.

4. Right-click and select Restore Selected objects.

Don't confuse the Show/Hide function on the Acquire ribbon with hiding objects. Hide Tracing simply turns off the tracing display, and does not actually create hidden objects.
