3.4     View Elements

The  button in the 3D Window toolbar and View->Elements... command from 3D Window menu invoke View Elements dialogue enabling showing or hiding individual elements.

Elements can be selected / unselected with mouse clicks or via Select All / Unselect All buttons and can be shown or hidden by pressing Check Selected (or Check All) or Check Selected (or Uncheck All), confirmed by Apply or OK. Double-click over Visible check box or entire row, followed by Apply or OK, is an alternative way to show or hide a particular element.

Elements can be sorted by any column with pressing left mouse button on the header of a column. Right mouse button click on the header allows returning to unsorted Default Order.

Show and hide operations performed from this dialogue prevail over possible previous Hide Ports & Boxes command.

Cancel exits the dialogue without performing the last requested unconfirmed operations.

The colour assigned to a particular element is used for its display in all windows. It can be changed in 2D Window only:

·       move to a 2D Window,

·       open Select Element dialogue and choose the element in question,

·       press the right mouse button to get the change element menu,

·       press Pen... to open Select Pen dialogue, and choose a new colour (note that Style and Width chosen in the same dialogue apply to 2D Window only),

·       confirm new settings with OK buttons.
