split function - setting for auto no-show of original element?

split function - setting for auto no-show of original element?

split function - setting for auto no-show of original element?

(OP)
When I use the split function to trim curves or surfaces, a copy of the original element is made.  It doesn't go into no-show; I have to put it there or delete it.  Is there some setting in the system options that will cause original elements to go into no-show?

RE: split function - setting for auto no-show of original element?

I'm not sure why a copy is being made...

You are probably doing something that forces elements to show up in more than one place on the tree. That would explain your hide problem.

RE: split function - setting for auto no-show of original element?

You may have the Creat Datum option toggled on.  In the Specification tree, do all the wireframe nodes have a red lightning bolt-type slash through the geometry icon?  It's in the same menu as Work on Support I believe, and will be lit up orange if it has been inadvertantly clicked or defaulted on.  Just a guess.
