How to Hide an Object in AutoCAD

Drafting is one of the first stages in building construction, and while drafting started out with primitive methods, it has embraced emerging technology. Advances in computer aided drafting (CAD) have made architectural drafting much easier and faster than ever before. One of the many benefits of drafting with autoCAD is the ability to alter drawings using simple commands, such as temporarily hiding any objects in the work space. Hiding an object is a straightforward task that requires just basic commands.
