Question

Creo 4-10 Component Display / Style / PhantomTrnsp and PhantomOpque

Hello friends.

 

In the drawing, I need to specify a detail, transparent and in fine lines. Creo is able to make the detail transparent, but the line style is dashed.

 

I open the drawing.
Layout > Component Display > Style > Picked View > OK.
In the menu manager, I select the PhantomTrnsp style.

 

As a result, I get a transparent display of the assembly part, but with a dotted line.


How to adjust or change the default PhantomTrnsp line style to thin rather than dashed?

I really don't know any way to do what you want. I haven't ever seen a way to alter the representation of the lines rendered for a solid.

I suppose you could make a view, then use "Convert to Draft Group" to turn that view into a bunch of "dumb" lines, then edit the lines you want to change on an individual basis. You lose the associativity of the view to the model but you can get your thin lines, I suppose.

Your option doesn't suit me.
What I do is this: Once I've selected the PhantomTrnsp style, I select all of the lines in the view individually and change the style of those lines using the Line Style tool.

It takes a long time. (((

I am not sure if this is obvious, but I suggest this work-around:

1) in your model, hide the components that are not in the "phantomtrnsp" style.

2) in the drawing view, those components will disappear.  So only the ones you want to modify will be shown.

3) then use line style changing tool

and in one go, box-select all the lines of the shown components, and change the line style to your liking.

5) go back to the model and unhide all the components to restore the drawing view.
