Open any product with geometrical data then select an
object.
In our example, the product contains a part body
and a line and we select the line:

Click Hide/Show
in the View toolbar.
The object (the line in our
example) is no longer displayed because it has been transferred
into the No Show space:

If you have several windows open containing the same objects, the object is transferred
to the No Show space in each window.
Click Hide/Show
again to display the object in the Show space.
You cannot hide a face or a feature of a solid tree
because all solid features aggregated under a solid tree are
considered as one element. Therefore, they cannot be
individually impacted by the Hide/Show capability.
For instance, in the following tree...

as Chamfer.1 or Pad.1 hides the whole solid geometry:

For more information on the behavior of the
Hide/Show capability in products, see VPM Physical Editor User's Guide: Managing Graphic Properties in Products.
Optional: When an object is selected, right-click it
then select Properties (or select ),
access the Graphic tab, and look at the Shown
check box.
This lets you know whether the object is hidden
or not:
-
means that the object
is in the Show space
-
means that the object
is in the No Show space.
This check box is displayed for information only, the
Properties dialog box does not let you modify the object's
visibility.
