Hide objects
The "hide objects" feature is to avoid too much visual confusion if you
work with many objects. You can make objects 25% visible or totally invisible to
hide all uninteresting lines.
Please note:
The selected object or group is always 100% visible.
Tips
The "Make all objects 25% visible" option is the most
useful option if you work on complex constructions.
Use the "Make all objects totally invisible" when EOD is too
slow and you want to edit a single object without seeing anything else. This
could be useful for the custom object if you adjust single points.
