Hello - I looked high and low and attempted searching for this request online and within CREO 10.
In CREO Assy you can select one component and change the transparency of that component - but when you go to drawing the view is monolithic - Solid or hidden but not hybrid. There is one component that I want to display hidden line removal to show features within the part. I tried Component Display under Layout/Edit. I went through the prompts - but nothing changes. Is this possible - and why so hard to achieve?
I read online about Display States within CREO - but when I search CREO help I see nothing in CREO 10.
Thanks for helping.
Hi,
please set requested state in Assembly mode an publish the picture. It enables other to understand your problem.
INFO: Shaded view display functionality in Drawing mode is limited. It differs from Assembly mode functionality.
First pic is in Assembly mode. I can set the transparency of a component to ways - by editing and applying transparency in Appearances or Under Modal/Modal Display/Component Display Style.
I would like to only change the rectangle part to Hidden Line (from the overall setting of HLR) to show the internal features for clarity on my drawing.
I tried Layout/Edit/Component Display - which is supposed to allow for changing - I guess - a component in a view or all views. When I try this I seem to go around in circles - and the end result is nothing changes. Maybe I'm doing this incorrectly.
I'm not interested in shaded view and changing one component to HLR to show clarity - I did read on this forum that this not possible. Again - not what I'm asking. What I want - HLR for all but one component - that one component would be hidden line displayed so I can see internal components.
I think SolidWorks has Display States where individual components can have different states. I do not know if this translates to drawings though.
Any thoughts help. In the meantime I will keep trying to achieve what I want. Worst case scenario - remove part from assembly - and fudge a rectangle on drawing to mimic hidden line.
Thanks
