Switching the selected load off/on

Sometimes, when I analyze a problem in a certain place on the structure, or I want to show a certain load without having the surrounding loads there, which make this display unclear, I have to go to the "Command file" and make notes from the selected forces there. In "Loading" _ "Load Cases Details" I only have "Edit" and "Delete". My idea is, could there be, for example, in "Edit" a switch that would make the given load active or inactive, with some graphic indication that the load is currently inactive, so that it is not forgotten later (on the left, instead of the green mark, a gray mark).

    Thank you for this idea. The functionality already exists. Say you are in the loading layout showing load case 1 which has multiple loads. Open the 'Display Options' dialog and chose the 'Assign Dlgs' row. In there the 2nd option 'Only show labels for the selected items in the dialog box' This will then display only the load you select from the dialog, all others will be hidden. Then once you have finished this process, it is good to reset back to the first option, Show all labels. Note that this will apply with any dialog, properties, specifications, etc.
