Hi All,
I was attempting to change the transparency while viewing and editing mates, one post said to change the above variable, but can't seem to turn it on
Tool;System Options;Display/Selections
There is a bar graph that goes 0%-100% but cant seem to move that either any suggestions?
I've toggled each tic box and nothing so far I have found turns it on.
Regards,
Jim
Hi,
I would if I could select it, that is the issue its grayed out look at screen shot, the box currently says "Maintain assembly transparency" and the arrow is also grayed out, so I guess the real question how to I unlock this?
I am the adminstrator on the computer I am working on so not sure why its not selectable, unless there is some other place I need to change this variable
Regards,
Jim
Close all parts and assemblies and try then.

Leszek,
That worked, seems weird it isn't selectable with a assembly open.

Sorry, If nobody else is complaining about this standard capability, then I do not believe it is a bug.
I do not know what would cause this other than a graphics card and/or driver.
Hi all,
One weird thing is I switched it to "Force Assembly Transparency" and when I reopened a assembly it switched back to "Maintain assembly Transparency" although I do have another session of Solidworks open (rather large assembly) so I will have to check it out first thing tomorrow. As when I did recheck the variable with the assembly closed it was back at "Force Assembly Transparency".

Jim
It is a System Option as opposed to a Document Property, so that makes sense.
Select the drop down arrow to "Force assembly transparency"
