WF5 selection highlighting changes - hidden entities highlight now :(

Which component is selected here? (white or blue?)

Has anyone else noticed that in WF5 if you highlight or select a component in an assembly it highlights all the hidden entities? This is a real nuisance in top down design with components that have Ext. Copy Geoms of other components. When you select or preselect the component it is hard to tell which component you have selected. Pre-WF5 it does not do this, only the shown geometry is highlighted.

Any fixes out there?

I looked through the config options and could not find anything. I would have to say this is a issues that should be logged with Tech Support. It is very repeatable so they should be able to correct it.

I think you selected the White part.

Here is my part.

Which one do you think I selected: the white one or the one that is not in this assembly?

I could log this with PTC tech support if you want.

You opened Call 7776726 with PTC Technical Support on 08-Jul-2010, with the following description:

"Hidden geometry of components displays in assembly when component is prehilighted."

After further investigation, I have filed Software Performance Report (SPR) #1998763 so that our Development team can investigate this issue further. This SPR has been filed with 3-HIGH severity.

When an SPR is submitted, Technical Support assigns a severity to the SPR and notifies you of the SPR number issued for your call. Additional details on the Call and SPR process can be found in the Customer Service Guide available on the PTC Website:
