"Make Transparent" command and Geometry Filter

I can't use the command MAKE TRANSPARENT (I don't mean the Transparent command to set the display state) with the Geometry filter. I must obligatorily select Body as filter.
But I can add that command in the mini toolbar in that Selection item...

Is there a way to use Make Transparent with Geometry filter?

No, I think the actual behavior is the intended behavior. If you select geometry, in assembly you act on the part transparency, inside a part you act on a body transparency.  If you select the body explicitly, then of course the command always relates to and acts on the body

Hi,

what Creo version do you use ?

In Creo 9.0 I have Geometry filter selected when working on part. When I select Body using Pick From List command the mini-toolbar is displayed containing Make Transparent button.

I use 8.0.7.
If I select Body that command appears also to me, but I wonder if there is the possibility to use the command simply "touching the surface" with the geometry filter activated.

One of my colleague still has Creo 8.0.2, and he can make transparent parts with this command directly from the geometry filter.
Before passing to 8.0.7 I had the 8.0.4 and I couldn't do the same, and now with 8.0.7 I still can't.
Now also my colleague has passed to 8.0.7 and now he can't usa the command any more from Geometry filter.
So, was it a bug of 8.0.2 or still now with 8.0.7 is there a manner to use that command in the manner I've told?
