These selection tools are available only for envelopes made from parts, and only in the top-level assembly. They are not available for envelopes made from subassemblies, and are not available for envelopes within subassemblies.

To select, show, or hide using envelopes:

  1. In an assembly, right-click an envelope.
  2. Click Envelope, and click one of the following:
    Option Description
