Hiding an object within a layer

Hi

I would like to be able to hide an object within a layer while I'm testing to see if I like it there or not. However, there doesn't seem to be a "eye" icon to do this for objects - only at the layer level. Is there a way to hide an object "within" a layer?

Thanks.

  • No, not just by clicking an icon.

    If the object is on top of a uniform background I just make a box same color as the background & no outline to cover the object.

    If that won't work sometimes I make a layer for temporary storage, drag the object to the temp layer and hide that. 

    Hope it helps

    • HI.

      If the item is on top of a shape with a uniform fill:

      Select the item, hit Shift Pg Down to move it underneath. You can toggle it back into view with Shift Pg Up or move it with a drag in the object manager.

    • There is not in CorelDRAW but it should be in wishlist for the next version.

      • Workaround:


        Select only the objects you want to see in the preview, click on: 

        VIEW > SELECT PREVIEW ONLY... (to see in full screen)


      • Unfortunately there is no way to hide an object within a layer.

        The workaround I can suggest is to delete the object and Ctrl + Z if you want it back. Funny workaround but works for me though not always. Wink
