The BLANK Menu

The BLANK Menu

Use OFF/ON to toggle whether blanking is applied in the active windows.

The blank menu can be used in four different modes:

BLANK	To blank the selected items
UNBLANK	To unblank the selected items
REVERSE	To reverse the blanking status of the selected items
ONLY	Blank all items in the active windows, leaving only the selected items

Further buttons on the blank menu:

RESET	Deselects everything in the Blank Selection menu and clears all filtering.
STATUS	Lists how many items are currently selected in the menu.

Items are selected using an "object type" selection menu (see Using menus with "object type" selection for details).

For example, click on "Part" to get a list of all the Parts in the model. Then select some parts to apply the blanking operation to.

It is possible to select these parts from the list, Filter the list, use Vis ible screen picking, or Key_In an ID (see Using menus with "object type" selection).

Once some items are selected, the APPLY button is active.

Use APPLY to apply the operation. By default, the image is updated after APPLY has been clicked.

Note, the user may change the blank menu mode once the items are selected. For example, having applied a blank to some parts, one might change to unblank mode and apply an unblank to the same selection of parts.

Note, changing to a different object type will reset the current selection. You should APPLY your blank operation for each object type.
