Let’s customize the diagram and investigate some of the view menu capabilities.

ØSelect the Hide Wand tool .  Click on the Level Awareness, click on forgetting, gaining awareness, time to forget, effect of awareness on new customers, advertising effectiveness, customer referral, and click on the two clouds.  

Each element will be hidden from view, until your structure looks like this:

ØSelect View>Show Hidden>Depth 1, or press down arrow on the keyboard.

The word "Hide" on the status bar along the bottom will change to "Depth 1."

A check also appears beside the menu item to show it is active.  The sketch elements hidden with the Hide Wand will pop into view.  

ØSelect the Unhide Wand (the white wand).  Click on each of the elements that was hidden.
ØSelect View>Show Hidden>None to uncheck it, or press up arrow key on the keyboard.

Now all your sketch elements should be showing.  If you have missed any, they will be hidden.  Repeat the above process again to make them visible.

NOTE You can set hide levels from 1 to 16 and use the up and down arrow keys to unhide and hide successive levels.
