Objects may be filtered by their color in the design area. For example, you can show all objects using RGB color space, or all green objects.
While objects are filtered from view, they will also be prevented from entering production and will not show up in the RIP & Print window or the Cut/Plot window.
Filtering Objects Using the Color Filter
