TRACEVIEW (Command)

Changes the active trace to view mode so you can edit the parent drawing while the trace is still visible.

Displays the host drawing with full saturation, while dimming the trace geometry.

A trace is created in the AutoCAD web app, AutoCAD mobile app, or AutoCAD desktop (Windows and Mac) to provide feedback, comments, markups, and design exploration of the drawing without altering the content of the drawing.

Note: Starting in AutoCAD 2023, the TRACEBACK and TRACEVIEW commands provide the same functionality.
