Читать книгу AutoCAD For Dummies - Ralph Grabowski - Страница 39

Oops — the nutty engineer is back. Now the requirement is a shop drawing of the base plate alone with its four holes but no column and no nuts. No problem. The solution is to freeze (hide) the layers with the unwanted objects.

Expand the Layer drop-down list from the Layers tab and click the 0 layer name to make it the current one, because the current layer (which had been Hatch) can never be frozen.

Expand the Layer drop-down again, but this time click the sunshine icons beside the Column, Hatch, and Nuts layers. As you do so, each sunshine turns to a snowflake and everything on the corresponding layer disappears. Frozen layers cannot be seen, edited, or plotted. Click a snowflake, and its layer thaws to sunshine. I discuss layers in Chapter 9.

Congratulations! You have now used the few commands that will account for the majority of your long and prosperous AutoCAD career!
