Using the Auto-Hide layer

When you want to hide elements in a drawing view but you do not want to assign the hidden elements to individual layers, you can use the Auto-Hide layer. You can hide construction geometry, dimensions, and certain annotations.

• The Auto-Hide layer is available while you are drawing and dimensioning on the 2D Model sheet. The Auto-Hide layer is activated by the View→2D Model Sheet command.

  Example:

  For example, you can place dimensions on the 2D Model sheet to drive the size of the geometry, and then assign them to the Auto-Hide layer. When you use the 2D Model View command to create a drawing view of the 2D Model sheet geometry, the dimensions are hidden automatically and do not appear on the working sheet.

• The Auto-Hide layer also is available when you right-click a drawing view and choose the Draw In View command. When you close a Draw In View window, elements on the Auto-Hide layer are hidden automatically.

• Once the Auto-Hide layer has been activated, it remains available on the working sheets, too.
