Hide/Unhide

Hide/Unhide allows you to hide objects and measurements in your design. This allows you to design using layers by hiding certain objects while working in specific areas.

Hide 1-1Hide/Unhide has three different controls. The Hide/Unhide buttons at the top give you control over the entire design. The stage and object checkboxes allow you to hide objects by type. The guide and measurement controls set which measurements appear.

In the Construction Page Layout Stage, each block can have a different Hide/Unhide setting. When printing, whatever is displayed in your viewport is what will be printed on the paper. Hide/Unhide allows you to control exactly which objects and measurements will appear on the printed page.

Green Eye shows that all items are visible

Red X shows that all items of that type are hidden

Yellow Square shows that only some items of that type are hidden.
