Brandon Wardell Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I would dearly love a shortcut that lets me toggle "Show other objects while in editing modes" on and off. Is there an easier way to do this than going through settings? Quote Link to comment
rDesign Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 You can add a button to your Tool Bar for 'Show Other Objects While In Edit Modes' via the Quick Preferences menu. Setting Quick Preferences - Vw2015 Help The button itself is the one with the eye ball in the attached screen cap. Quote Link to comment
Josh NZ Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Thanks! Have been wanting to find this forever. Quote Link to comment
Flair-Studio Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Would be cool to have the possibility to run the visibility on/off command with just one keyboard tap instead of having to go to the menu board with the mouse. It would speed up the 3d modelling phase significantly... Quote Link to comment

It would speed up the 3d modelling phase significantly... I imagine this can be scripted + would be fairly simple to do. I have a script that is assigned to a keyboard shortcut which allows me to toggle 'Grey Other Objects' on + off because that setting is way more of a pain to get to than 'Show other objects...' is! (needless to say I didn't write the script + it was probably @Pat Stanford who very kindly did) 1 Quote Link to comment
Jesse Cogswell Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Super-duper simple. Script is a single Vectorscript line: SetPref(14, NOT GetPref(14)); 2 Quote Link to comment

Many thanks Quote Link to comment
Jesse Cogswell Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Almost exactly the same: vs.SetPref(14, not vs.GetPref(14)) 1 Quote Link to comment

Pat Stanford Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 The Script you need is just one line: SetPref(14,Not(GetPref(14))); Go to the Tools:Plug-ins:Plug-in Manager. Click the New button at the bottom left. Choose Command from the dialog box and name it what you want the menu to say. Click the Edit Script button. Paste the script line from above into the editor. Click the OK button. Click the Close Button. Edit your workspace to add the new menu command you just created to your workspace. One limitation of this is that is you have the Quick Pref Option for Show Other Object visible, this script does not toggle the state of that icon and I don't know how to make it do so.
