Hide Pattern
Introduced in version 1.131 of the software is the ability to hide elements on a project. Right-clicking on an
element will display the corresponding context menu. Why the need to “hide” something on a board? There
are times when a placeholder is needed to keep objects aligned or a want to see how an item will look without
completly deleting it. There are two methods by which the feature can be activated. The rst is right-clicking
the item on the board and choosing “Hide” form the context menu. The second requires that the carving list is
showing, right-clicking the item in the list and choosing “Hide” form the context menu.

An object that is hidden may not be clearly evident on the board but will be easy to see on the Carving List.
Any objects highlighted in yellow are hidden on the board (gure 12.11). These objects are still selectable on
the board, though not visible, so right-clicking on them will produce a context menu where the hide icon is
toggled (indicated by the blue tinted box depression as in Figure 12.12.) The differences can be seen overall in
gures 12.10 and 12.14.
