- Glossary
objects—partly or entirely—that are located behind the following types of
objects:
Objects with nonzero thickness
Circles
Two-dimensional solids
Wide polylines
Surfaces and 3D solids (when viewing models created in AutoCAD)
The illustration below was created with lines that were extruded by giving
them a nonzero thickness.
Objects on layers that are turned off but not frozen can also hide other objects.
You can adjust how hidden lines are displayed by changing the settings in
the Hidden Line Settings dialog box.
Display Views with Hidden Lines Removed
For viewing, you can temporarily suppress hidden lines with HIDE.
HIDE suppresses all hidden lines in a view. When the view is regenerated, all
objects are displayed normally.
