Description
The display of quilt label and visibility control of quilts in the Model Tree have been enhanced to improve usability.
The new enhancements indicate a link between the quilt and the feature that created the quilt, including:
• Enhanced Quilt Label
The quilt label displays the name of the owner feature (the feature that created the quilt) in parentheses, providing a clear visual link between the quilt and its originating feature.
• Visibility Control
◦ For features that create a single quilt, the Show, Hide, Show Only, and Show All Except affect both the quilt and the related feature.
◦ Hiding or showing a quilt also hides or shows the feature.
◦ Hiding or showing the feature also hides or shows the quilt.
The quilt label update, displaying the feature name, is shown in the following image.
Previously, to show a quilt, it was required to check if the quilt was hidden due to the feature’s visibility state, the quilt’s visibility state, or both.
Benefits
Improved user experience for controlling a quilt visibility.
