The Show and Hide Diagram Element feature was introduced in the previous version, allowed user to show only those elements on the diagram pane which they are interested for performing some operations more conveniently in a temporary state. In this release, the Show/Hide Diagram Element feature is enhanced to let you show or hide diagram elements that extend a particular stereotype.

In this article, we will see how to hide a number of classes which extend the ORM Persistable stereotype.

Hide Elements and Show Again

Here is a class diagram with several ORM Persistable classes.


We are going to hide the ORM Persistable classes.

  1. Right-click on the diagram background and select Show/Hide > Hide by Stereotype > ORM Persistable from the popup menu.


    The three ORM Persistable classes are hidden. The connectors are also disappear to avoid leaving them "dangling" on the diagram.
  2. To show the hidden classes, right click on the diagram background and select Show/Hide > Show by Stereotype > ORM Persistable from the popup menu.


    Now all ORM Persistable classes are shown in the diagram again.
  3. You may notice that the connectors are still hidden. To make them visible, right click on the diagram background and select Show/Hide > Show by Shape Type > Association from the popup menu.
  4. Everything is now back.
