Hidden Labels
This feature allows you to select whether to show or hide symbols for boundary conditions, node numbers, and other items that are hidden by the model. The label's hidden status is applied based on the option's check state.
Labels that can be affected by this feature include symbols or numbers for nodes, elements, loads, and boundary conditions. Additionally, the label's hidden status can also be applied in the results display mode.
Display Option
Open the Display Option dialog box.
Reset All
Initialize the input state by deleting all labels except for the nodes.
