Transparency in drawing

You will have to show the view in shaded mode for the transparency to work

Hmmm, I was hoping for a solution that allowed the view to be hidden lines removed.

I've used Alternate Position Views for this before, but, since I've slept since the last time I used it, my memory (a well as many body parts) has "gone south" since then. But it had to do something with making two configurations, one with, and one without the part you want to "see thru." Then you make an Alternate Position view, one with the first config, the other with the second....

...or something like that.....

I agree, display states should have dealt with issues like this.

Display states did deal with this issue although half assed. You can use display states for alternate position views, but it takes twice as much work as it used to. You have to create the display state, then you have to create a separate configuration. Create the alt pos view using the new configuration. Change the property of alt pos view to the config that has your display state in it. Then change the property of the alt pos view AGAIN to the right display state. There needs to be a way to create alt pos views using the config AND the display state in one step.

Can you just hide the (guard) component in that view? Often times I do that and just add a note "Guard part hidden in this view for clarity" or something like that?

Or turn it into a reference part, therefore allowing parts behind it to show as normal.

Hiding is an option, although not the desired one.

What are you thinking of as far as making it a reference part? Explain more, please.
