Description
The 
Draft ToggleDisplayMode command switches the ViewDisplay Mode property of selected objects between Flat Lines and Wireframe. When this property is set to Wireframe only the vertices and edges of an object are visible making it possible to view and select objects behind it.
On the left the larger cube obstructs the cube behind it. On the right the Display Mode of the larger cube is set to Wireframe making it possible to select a face belonging to the smaller cube.
