  2. Press the Show/Hide Invisible Edges button
  3. The state of the invisible lines in the View will be reversed.

Scripting

The effect of the ShowAll tool can be duplicated in macros or the Python console.

>>> v = App.ActiveDocument.View
>>> vvo = v.ViewObject
>>> vvo.ShowAllEdges = True
>>> App.activeDocument().recompute()
