With this macro you can manage visibility of document objects either by type or individually. It operates in 2 modes: Show Type and Show All.
In Show Type mode (default) you only see the document object types, e.g. Sketch, but not Sketch001, Sketch002, etc. In this mode you can have all Sketches, for example, visible or invisible, but not individually.
In Show All mode (press Shift key while invoking the macro) you see all objects and can manipulate their visibility individually.
For example, suppose you wish only your sketches to be visible. Run the macro and toggle the All checkbox, then again to uncheck so that all objects in the document will be invisible. Then toggle the Sketch checkbox and click OK. Of course, if your sketch is in a part design body you still will not be able to see it because if the body is invisible, then so will all objects within it. So, you would also need to select the Body checkbox in order to actually see them in the 3d view.
The problem here is now you have maybe a bunch of sketches visible and you only are interested in seeing 1. In that case run the macro again, but this time hold the Shift key (Mac users, please verify I believe this would be the Command key for you) while running the macro. This puts in show All mode. Now you can select only the sketch you want to see or only the body.
