Display filters
The FASTSUITE Edition 2 software knows many different objects, all with their specific content, such as geometrical elements, kinematic chains, connection adapters, process geometry, etc. All these objects can be displayed or hidden in the 3D View without needing to select them (individually). The software in principle automatically displays the workbench specific and required objects.
The Display filter command opens a set of filter commands to toggle specific 3D features between the show and hide workspace. It will automatically grabs all the features of that specific group of objects. When the group of features is shown, the corresponding toggle icon is highlighted (green background color).
There is a display filter for:
To be able to toggle multiple different objects in a same operation, the Display Filter menu remains open after each toggle operation until it is closed by the user himself through any mouse action outside the menu bar.
Short cut method
While working in the 3D space there is an alternative way to call the display filter dialog. When pressing the
-key the toggle dialog of the display filters will appear after a short delay at the mouse.
While keeping the
-key pressed, the objects can be displayed or hidden with their toggle buttons. Releasing the keyboard button, or picking somewhere or something else, will close the dialog. The specific options are not available here.
