Grid Line Drawing Context Menus

Contextual right-click menu options for grid line and elevation annotations are available when grid system elements are selected in a drawing model or nested reference. Contextual, meaning they are accessible if you select either a grid or elevation annotation and right-click. The right-click option menu varies depending on what is selected and what is right-clicked on.

Right-click on... Menu options...
Grid Line Hide Grid Line - Hides the selected grid line or all the grid lines in a selection set to which the selected grid line belongs.
Show Hidden Grid Lines - Shows all the hidden grid lines for partially visible grid systems (which have at least one hidden grid line) and all the hidden grid lines of the other partially hidden grid systems If the selected grid line is a member of a selection set (containing grid lines from other partially hidden grid systems).
Reset Grid Line - Resets the selected grid line to its original state, removing any alteration through the annotation edit handles, such as gaps, dog legs, show/hide labels, etc.
Note: The right-click menu option appears if there is exactly one selected grid line that has edits. If multiple selected grid lines have edits, then Reset Grid Annotation appears instead.
Elevation Line Hide Elevation Line - Hides the selected elevation line or all the elevation lines in a selection set to which the selected elevation line belongs.
Show Hidden Elevation Lines - Shows all the hidden elevation lines for partially visible grid systems (which have at least one hidden elevation line) and all the hidden elevation lines of the other partially hidden grid systems If the selected elevation line is a member of a selection set (containing elevation lines from other partially hidden grid systems).
Note: Both Show Hidden Elevation Lines and Show Hidden Grid Lines right-click menu options are available for elevation grids with both a hidden grid line and a hidden elevation line.
Reset Elevation Line - Resets the selected elevation line to its original state, removing any alteration through the annotation edit handles, such as gaps, dog legs, show/hide labels, etc.
Note: The right-click menu option appears if there is exactly one selected elevation line that has edits. If multiple selected elevation lines have edits, then Reset Grid Annotation appears instead.
In a view with an active selection set (not on a grid system element) Hide Grid Annotation - Hides all grid lines or elevation lines in the selection set.
Show Hidden Grid Annotation - Shows all the hidden grid lines or elevation lines for all partially visible grid systems (which have hidden elevation lines) who's visible grid lines or elevation lines are members of the selection set.
Reset Grid Annotation - Resets all the grid lines or elevation lines in the selection set to their original state, removing any alteration through the annotation edit handles, such as gaps, dog legs, show/hide labels, etc.
In view with no selection set (not on a grid system element) Show Hidden Grid Annotation - Shows hidden grid lines for grid systems in which all the grid lines have been hidden and there are no visible parts of the grid systems to select.
Note: The right-click menu option appears only when there is at least one fully hidden grid whose named group is found in the active model or a nested reference.
