Object Visibility
AutoCAD LT 2011 includes new tools that enable you to control object visibility independent from layer
visibility. The Object Visibility tools are accessible from the right-click menu when objects are selected as
well as when no objects are selected. When you use the Isolate Objects tool, only the selected objects
remain visible in the drawing. All other objects are hidden.

Alternatively, when you use the Hide Objects tool, the selected objects are hidden.
Figure 14. Hidden objects
You can use a combination of the Isolate Objects and Hide Objects tools to efficiently display only the
objects that are relevant to your current task. For example, you might use the Isolate Objects tool to
select an area of the drawing you want to edit and then use the Hide Objects tool to hide additional
objects within that area. After completing your task, you can quickly restore the hidden objects using
the End Object Isolation tool.
