After you combine the geometry in the Block Editor, you add a visibility
parameter.
You can then create and name a different visibility state for each weld symbol
(for example, WLD1, WLD2, WLD3, and WLD4). In the following example,
the WLD1 visibility state is displayed in the Block Editor. The geometry that
displays in a dimmed state is invisible for the WLD1 visibility state.
The Block Editor contextual tab displays the name of the current visibility
state. This area of the tool bar also provides several tools for working with
visibility states.
When you work with visibility states, you may or may not want to see the
geometry that is invisible for a given state. Use the Visibility Mode button
(BVMODE) to determine whether geometry is displayed.
To create a new visibility state
1 Click Insert tab ➤ Block panel ➤ Block Editor.
2 Click Block Editor tab ➤ Visibility panel ➤ Visibility States.
3 In the Visibility States dialog box, click New.
4 In the New Visibility State dialog box, enter a name for the new visibility
state.
5 Do one of the following:
■ Click Hide All Existing Objects in New State
■ Click Show All Existing Objects in New State
■ Click Leave Visibility of Existing Objects Unchanged in New State
6 Click OK.
