Description[edit | edit source]

The TechDraw ShowAll tool is intended to temporarily show, and then hide, invisible lines in a View. Lines can be made invisible with the TechDraw DecorateLine tool. Note that "invisible" is a cosmetic state, not to be confused with hidden lines which are geometric constructs.

Usage[edit | edit source]

  1. Select a View with invisible lines on a Page or in the Tree View.
  2. There are several ways to invoke the tool:
    • Press the Toggle Edge Visibility button.
    • Select the TechDraw → Add Lines → Toggle Edge Visibility option from the menu.
  3. All invisible lines in the View are either shown or hidden.

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()
