Hiding an object symbol

By default, when you create an object, its corresponding symbol appears in the diagram. You can hide the symbol of an object. When you hide a symbol you do not delete it.

You can hide a symbol from:

• The Symbol menu.
• The Show Symbols dialog box.

To hide a symbol from the Symbol menu:

1. Select one or several symbols in the diagram.
2. Select Symbol→Hide Symbols.
   
   The symbols are hidden in the diagram.
   
   
      Hidden linking objects
   When you hide an object with linking objects connected to it, the linking objects are also hidden. For example, if you hide a table symbol that has a reference to another table, the selected table will be hidden with the reference.
   
   

To hide a symbol from the Show Symbols dialog box:

1. Select Symbol→Show Symbols.
   
   The Show Symbols dialog box appears.
2. Deselect the check box beside the visible symbol.
