Showing cartographic and annotation features

You can show hidden cartographic and annotation features on a chart with the Reveal Selected Feature(s) tool to improve readability. The tool changes the IsVisible field from Not Visible to Visible. For example, if a feature was previously hidden and now needs to be shown, the field in the feature can be changed to visible again. The visibility is controlled by the MapId, so features are shown on a chart-by-chart basis.

This tool works with any feature class that has the IsVisible field.
