Component Display in Drawing not working.

In Creo 2 Parametric, I'm having an odd issue. I've done this a thousand times in the past without issue, but for some reason, it is no longer working.

 

In an assembly drawing, I'm attempting to use component display to blank and change some components to phantom transparent, but after I select the components and style, nothing happens. The assembly remains unchanged.

 

Is there a new config setting I'm missing in Creo 2?

What's odd, is that I just went through support recently for a separate issue with Solidworks and Windchill. (we run both Creo and SW here). They found the problem and fixed it, so hopefully the can pull this one out as well.

We do have a custom config, and a startup script that pulls the same company standard config for everyone, but it's the same config we've used forever. I have no problem dumping a cache or even blowing it away, but the odd intermittent nature of this one makes me thing it's something else.

Thanks for all of your help. When I get a solution, I'll be sure to post it up.

I have had to regen and even re-open the drawing in some versions for the entire change to take place.

I thought the same thing, but it still remains unchanged.

AFTER SELECTING THE OBJECTS I ALWAYS HAVE TO CLICK "DONE" FOR THAT STYLE TO APPLY. IF I JUST CENTER CLICK OUT OF IT, IT WONT APPLY THE SETTINGS.

That's the way i've been doing it Joe. It's really odd. I've even tried it across multiple assembly drawings. No dice.

Is there something special done to this component such as assembly cuts or whatever? You could try to add the part to a test assembly and open it in a drawing to see if it functions correctly.

I have not run into limitation as yet with this function, but you may have found one.

Feel free to post the components; let us know the version it came from; and to know if it is from the full or academic version.

If you have maintenance, of course, open a support case and have PTC look at it too.
