Summary

This command is used to apply a filter to the current document, using an underlying (and stored) query, to target just those objects that are indicated.

Availability

Open PCB Filter Panel in the down right side of PCB Editor, and in the PCB Filter Panel just right-click in the Query editor to open the popup menu and choose to run command Examples » 0 Hidden comment strings.

Details

After launching the command, a filter will be applied to the current document, using the underlying query. All design objects that fall under the scope of the filter will remain fully visible, with all other design objects becoming dimmed.

Notes

Only those objects that fall under the scope of the filter will remain available for selection and editing. To make another object available for editing when it is dimmed, either apply a different filter that will include that object within its scope or clear the current filter, whereby all design objects in the workspace will become fully visible and available for editing.
