Hide/Show Properties

This panel appears only for Hide/Show action buttons. Use it to determine the type of action the Hide/Show button performs as well as various aspects of how it works.

Action: Choose Always Show Objects to make this button into a Show button, which always shows the objects to which it applies. Choose Always Hide Objects to make this button into a Hide button, which always hides the objects to which it applies. Choose Toggle Between Hide and Show to make this a toggling Hide/Show button, which hides objects when clicked on if one or more of its objects are showing and shows its objects when clicked on if they are all hidden.

If you don’t change the default label of a toggling Hide/Show button, the label changes between Hide and Show to describe the action it will perform next.

Effects: If Select Objects After Showing is checked, when you click on a Show button all its parental objects are selected. (Even if some of the button’s objects are already showing, they are still selected.) If unchecked, the objects are left unselected after they’re shown.

If Fade Objects In or Out is checked, objects fade in or out of visibility gradually when you click on the Hide/Show button. If unchecked, objects appear or disappear immediately.
