Description

The Draft ToggleDisplayMode command switches the ViewDisplay Mode property of selected objects between Flat Lines and Wireframe. When this property is set to Wireframe only the vertices and edges of an object are visible making it possible to view and select objects behind it.

Usage

  1. Select one or more objects.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the command:
    • Press the Toggle normal/wireframe display button.
    • Select the Utilities → Toggle normal/wireframe display option from the menu.
    • Select the Utilities → Toggle normal/wireframe display option from the Tree view or 3D view context menu.
    • Use the keyboard shortcut: Shift+Space.
