Show hidden objects
Show / hide hidden objects. If set any objects set to hidden (via Properties) are shown
Shop fills
Show fill points
Set whether shapes are filled (e.g. with a colour) and whether fill points are visible in the design. It is often useful to hide fills when drawing or adjusting an object since the fills may otherwise obscure parts of the object.
Refresh
It is sometimes useful to completely re-draw a drawing where lines may be temporarily obscured by multiple deletions of a complex copy operation.
