Use folders in the Element Symbology Manager to create a collection of color coding and/or annotation that can be turned off as one entity.

Adding Folders

3. Or, select the element to which you want to add the folder, click the New button, then select New Folder.
4. Name the folder.
5. You can drag and drop existing annotations and color coding into the folder you create, and you can create annotations and color coding within the folder by right-clicking the folder and selecting New > Annotation or New > Color Coding.
6. Use the folder to collectively turn on and off the annotations and color coding within the folder.
