Activating and Deactivating Images

You can deactivate an image to destroy its screen representation, and activate the image later to regenerate its screen representation. The Activate/Deactivate capability is useful with a large size model to improve your computer performance.

The Hide/Show contextual menu allows you to move the selected element to the invisible space. You can visualize and modify elements you have hidden (using the Hide/Show contextual menu) in the invisible space (as a second workspace). To work in the invisible space and display the hidden elements, click Swap Visible Space.
