Hiding a symbol

Hiding certain symbols can improve the readability of your diagram. When you hide a symbol you do not delete it or the object.

To hide a symbol from the Symbol menu:

1. Select one or several symbols in the diagram.
2. Select Symbol→Hide Symbols from the contextual menu.
   
   The symbols are hidden in the diagram.
   
   
      Hidden link objects
   When you hide an object with link objects connected to it, the link 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 (or right-click the diagram background and select Diagram→Show Symbols from the diagram contextual menu) to open the Show Symbols dialog box.
2. Deselect the check box beside the visible symbol.
3. Click OK to return to the model diagram.
