Hiding and showing items

All components of an enclosure can be hidden and shown individually or several at a time. This is possible in different ways:

• Hide / Show individually or together via a menu item

• Hide / Show individually with all assigned parts via the pop-up menu in the drawing

• Hide / Show individually with all assigned parts via the pop-up menu in the navigator

• Hide / Show individually via check boxes in the navigator

Hiding and unhiding via menu items

View | Hide / Show | Hide elements

Click the components to be hidden one after another. Items assigned to the com- ponents to be hidden, e.g. devices on a mounting rail, will not be hidden with this function.

Pressing [Return] hides all components in the drawing.

View | Hide / Show | Show elements

Pressing [Return] shows all hidden components in the drawing again.

Hiding and showing via the drawing pop-up menu

All enclosure components, construction items and devices have a "Hide" option in their pop-up menu, which appears when right-clicking in the drawing. Items as- signed to hidden components, e.g. devices on a mounting rail, are also hidden to- gether with the selected components.

Select "Show elements" in the menu bar to show a hidden item again.

Hiding and showing via the navigator pop-up menu

All enclosure components, construction items and devices have a "Hide" option in their pop-up menu, which appears when right-clicking in the navigator. Items as- signed to hidden components, e.g. devices on a mounting rail, are also hidden to- gether with the selected components.

Select "Show" in the navigator pop-up menu to show a hidden item again.

Hiding and showing via the navigator check boxes

Enclosure components can also be hidden and unhidden directly from the naviga- tor. Every part has a selectable check box in the navigator. The component is visi- ble in the model and in all views if the corresponding check box is selected.

If the corresponding check box is deselected, then the component is hidden in the model and in all views.

Items assigned to the components to be hidden, e.g. devices on a mounting rail, will not be hidden with this function.

Activating and displaying components Labels

3.8 Labels

Many objects can have labels in EPLAN Cabinet, including devices, ducts, various rails and user-defined components. These labels are permanently assigned to each component and are placed automatically.

The behaviour of the various types of label can be configured before and after pla- cement. These settings affect all components that have already been inserted in drawings and all that are inserted in future.

Labels on components already in the drawing can also be modified in various ways. These include specifying a font size, fixed positioning, moving to a user- defined position, and showing and hiding individual labels independently of the glo- bal visibility setting.
