Controlling the visibility of vector layers

Controlling the visibility of vector layers

You can control what vector artwork is shown in the 2D and 3D views by specifying which vector layers are visible. When a vector layer is created, it is visible by default.
Vector layers with   displayed beside them are visible. Vector layers with   displayed beside them are hidden.
To control the visibility of vector layers:

  • Click the   icon beside a vector layer in the Project Tree to hide a layer's vector artwork.
  • Right-click the   icon beside a vector layer in the Project Tree to hide all the vector artwork except on that layer.
  • Click the  icon beside Vectors in the Project Tree to hide the artwork on all layers.

    If you are working in the 3D view, click the Toggle Vector Visibility  button on the 3D View toolbar to display vector artwork.
