Show or Hide Processed Components in Formboard Manager

Use the Show Processed Components button in Formboard Manager to control the visibility of processed and unprocessed components in the selected member design.

About Processed Components

The Show Processed Components button lets you turn the display of processed components on and off in the selected member design. A processed component is any component that has been placed or merged into a merged formboard design.

Default Behavior

By default, the Show Processed Components button is turned on, which means:

• Both processed and unprocessed components are visible in the selected member diagram

• Processed components appear grayed out

• Unprocessed components appear at normal visibility

Hiding Processed Components

When you turn Show Processed Components off:

• Processed components are hidden from view

• Unprocessed components remain visible

• Bundles are hidden if all components placed on them are processed

• Bundles remain visible if they have at least one unprocessed component

Note

Special behaviors apply to certain component types:

• Multi-location components (MLCs) or insulations that span multiple bundles are considered processed and hidden only when all related bundles are processed

• When you hide processed components, the system also hides their decorations.

• The button does not hide Fixtures. Use the Show / Hide Fixtures button to toggle fixture display.

Display Control Interactions

The Show Processed Components button works in conjunction with other display controls:

• Other show component buttons remain available

• The dimmer function remains active

• You can use the other filter buttons while the processed components filter is active
