multiple objects were selected using the options under the
menu item. For more information
on this topic, see Section 9.1.1.1.2, “The Edit Menu”.
Selecting an object in the Layers palette also
adjusts the view port to the area of the canvas where the object
is located.
In some circumstances, you may want to make an object on an EER
diagram invisible. Select the object and, in the
Properties palette, set the
visible property to False.
The Layer palette provides an easy way to
locate an object, such as a relationship, that has been set to
hidden. Open the Layers
palette and select the object by double-clicking it. You can
then edit the object and change its visibility setting to
Fully Visible.
