Hide Tools

Used to hide components or whole groups.

When parts are hidden, they cannot be seen in the view and cannot be selected. These commands permit you to hide only selected components or to show only selected components and to hide all others. This provides a clearer view of the model.

Tip: These commands are most practical if individual parts are to be hidden from view. To hide or show entire groups of parts, it is recommended to use display classes.
