      <p class="para_topic">The <b class="uiTerm">Hide Routing Objects</b> dialog box allows you to hide specific types of objects (fittings, fixtures, segments, and stock) based on their status in the connection list of the Routing Electrical application. This is useful for just viewing objects that you have not routed yet in order to determine why the routing did not take place. You can also use hiding to provide variations of a harness by removing all objects that are not involved in the design represented by the currently applied connection list.
      </p>
      <p class="para_topic">There are different ways to take advantage of this function. You can use a filter on the connection list to hide a set of records, such as all records with the value BLACK in the COLOR box, for example. If you apply this filter, select the displayed rows of the connection list then <b class="uiTerm">Hide Selected</b>, you will see only those objects related to black wires. You can easily see which components do not connect by using the <b class="uiTerm">All Unrouted</b> option. If you have completed the routing of the current connection list but have unused components in the assembly, you can hide those unused components.

      <p class="para_division">The associated objects are determined for each record in the set by identifying the components found in the record (from and to devices and connectors) and then finding the segments that connect them. Fixtures and stock associated with these segments will then add to the object list as well. If a record represents a connection not yet routed, then only the assigned components are used.
