Isolate and Hide Objects

(Available in all TurboCAD Variants)

It is now possible to select any number of entities in the drawing and then isolate them from other objects. In this way, you can perform editing on these specifically selected or ‘isolated’ objects without seeing or affecting other un-selected entities in the drawing.

The Isolate tool is particularly useful in a complicated drawing when we are trying to work with a subset of the drawing. When you're done, editing the isolated objects, simply click the ‘End Isolation’ tool and the drawing re-displays those objects which had not been previously isolated.

There are three options for isolation:

  1. Isolate Objects:

The Hide Objects tool temporarily hides selected object in the drawing. To use this tool, select the object(s) in your drawing you wish to hide and then click Hide Objects. To have hidden objects reappear, click the End Isolation tool.

Select object and click on Hide object.
