Show or hide an effect

You can show or hide effects on the artboard the same way that you can show or hide any object in the Objects and Timeline panel. Hiding an effect enables you to quickly see how your object looks without the effect applied.

To show all effects

• At the bottom of the artboard, click Turn on rendering of Effects .

  提示

  By default, the rendering of effects on the artboard is turned off.

You can turn off the rendering of all effects on the artboard if you have applied effects to numerous objects and notice that the response time of Blend for Visual Studio 2012 is reduced.

To hide all effects

• At the bottom of the artboard, click Turn off rendering of Effects .

  提示

  You can also maintain a good response time in Blend by setting a zoom limit above which effects will automatically be turned off. On the Tools menu, click Options, click Artboard, and then, under Effects, set the Zoom threshold.

To show a single effect

1. Under Objects and Timeline, expand the object to display the effect that is applied to it.

2. Next to the effect, click the dot button .

   The dot button turns into an eye button  to indicate that the object is visible. You can click the eye button to hide the effect again.
