Hide elements
When your viewport becomes too cluttered, you can use Hide to temporarily remove elements from your view. Creo Elements/Direct Annotation stores these hidden elements so you can later restore them with Unhide . Unlike Delete, you can unhide hidden elements at any point in the design process, even after you end and restart a Creo Elements/Direct Annotation session.
To hide elements,
1. Click Annotation, Geometry, or Insert tab and then, in the Utilities group, click the arrow next to .
2. Click Hide.
3. Select the type of elements to hide:
◦ To select only manually added elements: right-click in the viewport, and select Manual.
◦ To select only calculated view geometry: right-click in the viewport, and select Calc.
By default, Hide selects both manually added and calculated elements.
4. Select the elements to hide:
◦ Select by box in the viewport, or
◦ Use the Select tool. To select hidden lines or tangent edges, use Hidd Supp or Tangent in the Select dialog box.
5. Click to complete the operation.
