3 Select the shaft for the foreground object. Notice that AutoCAD
Mechanical automatically places all obscured objects behind the shaft
on Level 2 as background objects. In this case, Level 1 refers to the shaft
- front object. All other objects behind the shaft are at Level 2.
4 There is no limit to the number of levels allowed with the AMSHIDE
command. You can place one object or several objects on a level. You
can also rename levels, including Level 1, for easy identification and
searching.
NOTE If you are working on the mechanical structure environment for
structured object, expand the Hide Situation dialog box. Click to expand
the dialog box.
