How to hide entire group?

[RhesusMinus]

I have a shape, that is a group.
This group have sub groups.
I need to, depending on the settings in the main shape/group, show/hide some sub groups.

However... I can't find a way to hide the entire group. All the sub shapes of the group have the NoShow in the geometry section, so I guess I could make all of those point to a user setting on the group. But... shouldn't there be an easier way to do this?

Not that I'm aware of. I always use a userdefined boolean cell (User.Visible) for the group and all Subshape "look" at that cell (in Geometry1.NoShow and HideText), like you suggested.

you can set a trigger in the subshape geometry to do a no show based on a parents setting

parent shape:      user.noshow = <true/false>

subshape1:         geometry.noshow = parent!user.noshow

I use this all the time

In the below....

round the corners
double click the shape....set one dimension to 0mm

see what happens

I set the behavior so you can look at each manifold  (group first)....look at the geometry.noshow cells
