Control the Display of Object (Isolation)

The isolation commands control the visibility of objects by isolating or hiding a selection set. Use ISOLATEOBJECTS and HIDEOBJECTS to create a temporary drawing view with selected objects isolated or hidden.

The commands are used to create a temporary view of the document when you need to hide the selected objects, or isolate – leave visible only the selected objects, hiding all others.


The commands for controlling the display of objects are located in context menu and Tools – Isolate Objects menu:
  • Isolate Objects
  • Hide Objects
  • Undo isolation step
  • Redo isolation step
  • Unisolate objects in current layout
  • Unisolate objects in all layouts
  • Unisolate objects

NOTE: Isolation and undo is independent of the general undo-redo mechanism (UNDO/REDO). For example, you can isolate a set of objects, edit them, and then roll the isolation back to a previous visibility state. In this case, all changes for the edited objects will remain.

Control the display of objects placed in the menu of Toggle Isolate button in status bar.
