Description

The Draft ToggleDisplayMode command switches the ViewDisplay Mode property of selected objects between Flat Lines and Wireframe. In Wireframe mode only the vertices and edges of objects are displayed making it possible to view and select objects that would otherwise be obstructed by them.

On the left the larger cube obstructs the cube behind it. On the right the larger cube is set to Wireframe making it possible to select a face belonging to the smaller cube.

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.
