The subfolder you selected is now red, but the other subfolder is not.
Notice that the same subfolder under Folder1:2 has changed color to red.
This is because property overrides are instance-based. When you look at
visibility you will understand why this matters.
To apply visibility overrides
1 In the browser, right-click Folder1:1 and select Visible. The entire folder
is now invisible.
2 In the browser, right-click Folder1:1 and select Visible. The folder is visible
again.
3 In the browser, right-click Folder1:1\Folder2:2 and select Visible. Notice
that unlike the property overrides, both instances of Folder2 are visible
in Folder1:2. That's because visibility is occurrence-based.
Selection Modes
There are three status bar buttons that control the different selection modes.
These buttons are not visible by default and you must display them first.
To display the selection mode status bar buttons
1 Click the Drawing Status Bar Menu arrow at the right end of the drawing
status bar.
