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

[boffin5]

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?

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.

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.
