Description

This tool sets the ViewDisplay Mode property of a selected object to "Flat Lines" or "Wireframe". When "Wireframe" mode is active, only the edges of the object are visible. This helps you to select objects that are being obstructed by other objects.

The frontal object obstructs the view of the object in the back; therefore, the first one is set to "Wireframe" to facilitate selecting the latter

Usage

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