TechDraw ShowAll

Description

The TechDraw ShowAll tool is intended to temporarily show, and then hide, invisible lines in a View. Lines can be made invisible with the TechDraw DecorateLine tool. Note that "invisible" is a cosmetic state, not to be confused with hidden lines which are geometric constructs.

Usage

1. Select a View with invisible lines on a Page or in the Tree view.
2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
   • Press the Show/Hide Invisible Edges button.
   • Select the TechDraw → Add Lines → Show/Hide Invisible Edges option from the menu.
3. All invisible lines in the View are either shown or hidden.

Notes

• To make invisible lines permanently visible use TechDraw DecorateLine.

Scripting

The effect of the ShowAll tool can be duplicated in macros or the Python console.

v = App.ActiveDocument.View
vvo = v.ViewObject
vvo.ShowAllEdges = True
App.ActiveDocument.recompute()
