We have a lot of curves displaying on the part.  Let's clean them up.

1.Display the Layer Manager.  You can pick the Layer Manager icon located on the Status Bar or select the Layers flay-out tab located on the left side of the drawing window.  If you recall we unpinned the Layer Manager allowing it to collapse to the side of the screen.

2.From the Layer Manager select the Add Layer icon to add a new layer.

3.Now lets rename the new layer to Curves.  First double-left-click in the Name field to activate it, and enter Curves as the new layer name.

4.Next lets make the Default layer the Active Layer by checking the box in the Active column for the layer Default.  The Default layer is now the active layer.  Let's also uncheck the box in the visible column for the Curves layer.  Now any geometry placed on the Curves layer will be hidden from view.  Your Layer Manager should look like the one shown below.

5.Now VisualCAD has a quick way of selecting entities by type.  Go to the Modeling Aids tab and select the By Type icon.  This command displays the Object Selection Filters dialog that allows you to check mark the entities that you want to select.  That dialog is shown below:

6.Place a check mark in the box for each of the following entity types: Point, Line,Polyline, Arc, Circle, and Curve.

7.Now pick the OK button.  You will see that all of the reference curves we created in this exercise are highlighted for selection.

8.With the entitles selected, select the Properties icon from the Status Bar.  Its located just to the left of the Layer Manager icon.

9.The Properties Manager will display on the left side of the screen similar to the Layer Manager.

10.At the top of the Properties Manager select the Edit icon.  This will display additional fields that you can edit.

11.We want to change the layer of the curves so drop down the layer menu by selecting the menu indicator on the right side in the Layer row and select the new layer named Curves that we recently created and hidden.

12.Now when you click anywhere in the drawing window you will see that all of the curves have been moved to the Curves layer and are not hidden from view.
