If they are extruded, circles, solids, traces, and wide polyline segments are

treated as solid objects with top and bottom faces. You cannot use HIDE on

objects whose layers have been frozen; however, you can use HIDE on objects

whose layers have been turned off.

To hide text created with MTEXT or TEXT, the HIDETEXT system variable

must be set to 1 or the text must be assigned a thickness value.

When using the HIDE command, if the INTERSECTIONDISPLAY system

variable is on, face-to-face intersections of 3D surfaces are displayed as

polylines.

The 3D Hidden visual style does not honor the setting of

INTERSECTIONDISPLAY.

If the DISPSILH system variable is on, HIDE displays 3D solid objects with

silhouette edges only. It won't show the internal edges produced by objects

that have facets.

If the HIDETEXT system variable is off, HIDE ignores text objects when

producing the hidden view. Text objects are always displayed regardless of

whether they are obscured by other objects, and objects obscured by text

objects are unaffected.
