RMB Assembly Component and Set Transparency

[Inventor Wishes]

Summary: Be able to select assembly component and RMB to set transparency on or off

Description: I would love to be able to click on any component in an assembly and then right click to be able to turn on transparancy (only on that component) so I could look through/in it.

How Used: When in assemblies, you have only the option to turn component visibility on/off. When capturing images of some facet of a design (for design reviews, pictures for Work Instructions, etc) it can be VERY helpful to show something, for example, inside an enclosure yet maintaining the reference of the component that would, ideally, be transparent. SolidWorks has had this ability for quite some time.

This is a great idea! Right now I have to select my part/assembly that I want to see through and change it from "as material" to "blue clear".

It is already available, use Enabled. When a component is not enabled, it will become transparent and you will not be able to select it with your mouse. Enabled/Disabled is also controlled by design view reps, so you can make a specific design view rep for working with certain components and disabling all other components.
