"Show All" unhides previously hidden Sublayers

Jul 3, 2012 3:48 PM

We all hide and unhide things constantly as we work.

 

But when you do a Show All (CTRL+ALT+3), to effectively unhide all hidden objects, is there a way to do so without unhiding all hidden sublayers as well.

 

When I do a Show All, even sublayers that were hidden when the file was opened (and never unhidden) unhide along with all hidden objects. Frustrating.

(No, I'm not to blame for the Papyrus!)

    Show All means exactly that, so if you want to keep some of the stuff 'permanently' hidden you would do best to have it on a separate layer.

    I always thought it took effect at the object level only. I've always avoided using sublayers.

     

    It's still not "absolute". It doesn't unhide hidden Layers and the objects that are hidden within them. So it's a mixture. For whatever reason, it includes Sublayers.

     

    Seems to me it should either unhide everything or unhide only hidden objects/groups . . . but I can see how this would be confusing, too.

     

    Anyway, thanks Steve.
