Hi cmorgan,

There's a link that buzz posted in THIS (http://www.forums.augi.com/showthread.php?t=73302&highlight=display) thread that points to a couple of videos that may help you do what you want.

Take a look at it and post back if you need more help.

cmorgan,

Yes, you can show the access clearance lines in an mvpart. The way I do it is by having the clearance lines be on a no-plot layer, with a dashed linetype and a lighter color. You will need to edit the mvpart manually and put the lines for the clearances on the "schematic" block (there are top, bottom, side, 3d, and schematic views for each mvpart).

I am not very good at explaining this, so I might post a video later, depending on how much free time I have this weekend.
