hide individual objects

Open otoomet opened this issue 9 years ago • 3 comments

I would like to hide individual objects, not just all objects of given symbol.

Particular usage case: I receive an ocad file with fieldwork gps tracks of several people on it (marked using a rare symbol). I would like to hide the tracks of the others while keeping my track visible while doing my edits.

I know I can just delete the others, or change symbols, but that feels like unnecessary and may not scale to more complex cases.

And thank you for the amazing work :-)

Making hidden objects visible again would need some extra user interface...

What you can do now is move the objects to individual map files, and use these files as "templates".

I think in the future you will sove this by hiding "map parts" (#627). And even saving single objects in a format suitable as a template is a known feature request (e.g. #601).

Sure. I did not quite understand what are "map parts". I think the extra user interface need not to be too complex, one just needs either a way to make all hidden objects temporarily visible, or alternatively a list of all hidden objects in a separate window. But there are several workarounds, so it is not urgent.
