Creo parametric assembly dashed line

Hi, 

Is possible to disable or remove the dashed line that appears during assembly parts in creo parametric under edit definition ?

I want to keep the surface selection view but without the dashed line that help to position a single part for example.

I'm using Creo Parametric 8.0

(see the attached below)

 

thank's in advance
Fabio

comp_assemble_start constrain_in_window

 

This option will start your assembly in the "secondary window". I think it is what you are looking for.

Hello 

 

The color of the dashed line is driven by Primary highlighted & Selected 

When the references are being selected, the dashed line is driven by Selected. 

After selecting both references, the dashed line is driven by is Primary Highlighted

Hi,

I have already try to change the options "prehighlight"  to NO, and see the dashedline during assembly edit definition disappear but I can't see no more the select surface that I wanto to move with a coincidente until I click on that surface, for example, with another surface.

 

I want only to disable o disappear only the dashed line wich appear during the assembly , or set to "Trasparent"  instead of colourful, if is possible.

 

Bye 

Fabio

Hi,

how about showing the component being added in a separate window.

Thank's for your suggestion MartinHanak.

I tried and the dashed line is disappeared but the highlight surface is remain. 
However is a little bit difficult to see what you are doing because you don't have the part in the main window and you don't see how the part is oriented.
Anyway I will try to use this metod and I hope that will be a possibility, mybe in the future to hide this dashedline.
