Show and Hide Objects

Use the color worksheet and the Filter Objects buttons in the Control Panel to show and hide blocks of colors and object types in the design. You can also use the Draw Range slider bars to change the view of the design.

Use any combination of color block display, object filters and draw range, in combination with the FilmStrip, to hide objects. Hiding objects leaves the visible objects available for modification, without affecting the hidden objects.

Hiding objects can help when you need to choose a set of objects that are difficult to isolate directly with the Select functions. For example, if you want to change the pattern in a group of fill areas using Global Properties, or to select a group of objects to copy.
