Separate Isolate & Hide commands

Separate Isolate & Hide commands

I know that programmers are saying Hide is the opposite of Isolate and vice-versa. Trust me, most regular users will believe different. Most users see no similarity between these commands, maybe is a language-specific thing.

Please add context to the Isolate command. Isolate command should fade and lock all other objects instead of hiding them completely. What use can i find in seeing an object out of context? I can't compare it visually to anything. If i want to modify it and can't relate any modification to any context (because it's hidden).

I would like to have access to the fade and lock functionality you describe but I also use the current isolate feature all the time.  I find it very helpful for editing a single object or small group of objects without other model elements getting in the way.

@TimGrissomYes, of course. That's exactly how Layer Isolate command works in Autocad, having 2 modes: fade&lock or hide completely all other objects.
