1Overview

Audit and Find can register transient graphics for failed or selected assets. Show and Hide control their visibility; Wipe clears them. All three commands can use an implied selection for targeted behaviour.

Use this guide when

Locating report failures, reducing temporary visual clutter or clearing stale highlights after corrections.

2Before you begin

  • Run an audit or Find operation that creates highlight data.
  • Decide whether to affect selected assets or every stored highlight.
  • Remember that highlights are not saved geometry.

3Highlight state actions

Visibility and deletion are separate so a review can be paused without losing context.

Feature or choiceCurrent behaviour
ShowDisplays registered transient graphics, globally or for selected entities.Hidden failure locations can be revisited.
HideTurns off visibility without deleting the transient registration.The drawing can be reviewed uncluttered and restored later.
WipeClears transient registrations for selected or all entities.Corrected/stale results do not linger.
Data safetyNone of the commands writes asset attributes or modifies geometry.Visual diagnostics remain separate from production data.

4Highlight actions

Choose selected or global scope, then use Show, Hide or Wipe according to whether the diagnostic set should be retained.

01

Show highlights

Restore visible diagnostics.

  1. Preselect failed assets to target them, or leave nothing selected to show all stored highlights.
  2. Run ADACErrorShow.
  3. Zoom or use Find to inspect the highlighted assets.

02

Hide without clearing

Preserve the transient set for later.

  1. Preselect assets to hide selected highlights, or leave nothing selected to hide all.
  2. Run ADACErrorHide.
  3. Use Show when the same diagnostic set is needed again.

03

Wipe highlights

Delete the selected or complete transient diagnostic set.

  1. Preselect assets for targeted removal, or leave nothing selected to wipe all highlights.
  2. Run ADACErrorWipe.
  3. Confirm the intended diagnostic graphics are removed.

5Product differences

The task is shared where possible, but selection, interface integration and model operations follow the host shown below.

infrADAC ACAD

Uses AutoCAD TransientManager graphics keyed to ObjectIds.

6Troubleshooting

Show displays nothing

Run audit with Highlight Failed Assets enabled or use Find first. There may be no registered transient set.

Old highlights return

Wipe them, correct assets and rerun audit. Hide alone preserves the set.

Only some highlights changed

A CAD preselection was active. Clear the selection and rerun the command for global behaviour.
