What it does
Controls the display and state of parts so that large assemblies are easier to work with.
Where to find it
Manage › Component State, or right-click a part › Display / State ›
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| Transparent | Makes the selected part transparent (click again to restore). The transparency follows the % field. |
| % (0–100) | 0% = opaque, 100% = fully clear (default 75). |
| Show All | Shows every hidden part (suppressed parts stay off). |
| Hide All | Hides everything, so you can then Show only the parts you need. |
| Find Hidden | Selects and reveals every hidden part in the Explorer. |
| Fix/Unfix | Fixes / releases (works on a whole sub-assembly). |
| Show/Hide | Show / hide. |
| Suppress | Turns off the selected part or mate (it is not calculated). |
| Delete | Deletes. |
Note: In a very large assembly, use Purge (Skip Loading) (right-click a part) so that parts you do not need are not loaded.
