HIDE
Regenerates a 3D wireframe model with hidden lines suppressed.
Access Methods
Menu: View  Hide
Summary
When you use
VPOINT (page 1149), DVIEW (page 389), or VIEW (page 1139) to
create a 3D view of your 2D drawing, a wireframe is displayed in the current
viewport. All lines are present, including those hidden by other objects. HIDE
eliminates the hidden lines from the screen.
HIDE considers the following to be opaque surfaces that hide objects: circles,
solids, traces, text, regions, wide polyline segments, 3D faces, polygon meshes,
and the extruded edges of objects with nonzero thickness.
If they are extruded, circles, solids, traces, and wide polyline segments are
treated as solid objects with top and bottom faces. You cannot use HIDE on
objects whose layers have been frozen; however, you can use HIDE on objects
whose layers have been turned off.
To hide text created with MTEXT or TEXT, the
HIDETEXT (page 1356) system
variable must be set to 1 or the text must be assigned a thickness value.
