Real Isolation Mode
We need a Real Isolate Like in 3D Apps.(3DS Max - C4d )
I mean that when I select an object /s (better with a toggle shortcut key) I can only see it/them. and when I exit Isolation it turns to the main Scene
no need to create unneeded layers for a simple function
Please make this happen.
Thanks

There are several existing requests that cover all the mentioned points:
1. Isolation mode fading also in Outline mode: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/45706072 (and a more generalized Dim Control In Isolation Mode: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31941823)
2. Isolate Selected Objects without having to group them: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/31540384
3. Not sure how the 'real isolation mode' (solo / focus) would solve this... where do you want the newly created object to be put then when you exit the mode? What if it is put exactly between two existing objects, both on different layers — where should it go on exit then? into 1 or into 2?
4. The last one depends on the method of exiting the mode: if you use a double-click — yes, the first click of the double-click indeed deselects; but if you press Escape, the selection stays. There is no request about making the double-click’s behavior, but you can make one if you wish. -

OK. What makes the current isolation mode not working good is:
- I can't isolate objects in outline mode
- I can't isolate more than one object unless with group them, and of course grouping doesn't help if objects are in different layers
- If I create a new object in isolation mode it will be a child for the isolated object ( in the same layer so I can't manage new shapes layers unless I exit isolation mode )
- After exiting Isolation mood AI doesn't remember selected objects. -
Yes, visibility in Outline is an issue. But sometimes it's a benefit. We need a way to control the behavior.

I can agree with this request, at least when it concerns outline-view mode.
I think a "real" isolation mode should make all other objects disappear in outline mode. At the very least an option/checkbox next to the isolate mode toolbar button to hide/show other objects.

Why?
What makes the current way of isolation (when all the other artwork fades) to not work for you? Please explain more.
Also, the 'Isolation Mode' layer is temporary and vanishes when you exit (unless you use 'Paste Remembers Layers' and get a bug related to it). And since you have layers and objects you might want to manipulate, Ai has to display something in Layers. What’s wrong with that?
