Modifying a data template's visibility

You can specify whether a data template layer is displayed or not displayed in the layout object.

About this task

The visibility property for a data template is a Boolean value that you can set to true or false. You can also enter a property expression that returns a true or false value.

To specify the visibility of a data template within a layout object:

Procedure

  1. From the Project Explorer view, select the data template folder whose visibility property you would like to change. All of the properties for that data template are displayed in the Properties view.
  2. Select True or False from the Visibility property list box or specify a property expression that returns True or False.

Results

Note: For layout objects that do not have a data template folder, visibility is a property of the layout object. You would select that layout object, and modify its Visibility property.
