Multi Selection by Hide and Show

In Catia Version4 there was a very often used function called "Multi Selection". With it a certain type of features, e.g. points, lines or planes could be accessed as a whole by entering an abbreviation such as *PT for points , *LN for lines or *PLN  for planes. This was done to hide or show and even delete features as an entity type in the model. A similar function is offered to show and hide features/sets/bodies/volumes in Catia Version5 not however to delete them.

Multi Selection in V5s in

Access all objects of the same type


Under the menue Tools>Show / Hide are a list of differrent objects gathered among them points, lines, planes, geometrical sets to just mention some. If a certain type is selected are all objects of the selected type processed showed or hidden.


Attention!
The function includes all of the selected type and after the use all objects are either shown or hidden. A pity for example if you have put certain important planes in show and other planes of minor interest in hide mode. This seperation has then been lost.

Multi Success!
