Viewing artwork as paths
Adobe Illustrator sets the view so that all artwork is previewed in color. You can also set the
view so that your artwork is displayed only as paths with all paint attributes hidden.
Viewing artwork without paint attributes speeds up the time it takes to redraw the screen
when working with complex artwork.
