To set entities to a blank state, click Blank, select geometry in the graphics
area to add them to the Selected Geometry list, and click OK. The geometry is hidden from view will not be affected by any other functions.
To reverse this state, use Unblank.
-
Unblank
- The Unblank function is used to remove the blanked state from entities which have previously had that state applied to them using the Blank function. To perform the function, click

Print Screen to create an image. 
Surface Normal - The Surface Normal function is used to
show or hide the surface normals of solids/surfaces in the graphics
area. This indicates the outward (positive) direction of solids/surfaces.
This function is important for creating Multiaxis features. The Reverse Surface Normal Function.View
