Transparent model display changes to non-transparent when moving

I need help with an odd occurrence. The model I am working on (not mine) has some shaded, and some transparent faces. When viewing just the part it looks like this:

HOWEVER, when during a spin, pan or zoom it immediately turns all the transparencies OFF:

Only to display them again, once I stop moving things.

What is even stranger, is that as part of an assembly, the model transparencies stay on all the time, even when I moving things. I haven't seen this behavior before, never happened on any of the parts/assemblies I have created. Any one know what's going on and more importantly, how to fix/control this?

thanks in advance...

Correct Answer

If everything returns to normal when you quit manipulating the model then my best guess is a graphics issue. It's possible you don't have an approved card or driver for it (you can go here to check), but even if you do that kind of thing can happen.

Open the part file and delete the part appearances

Thanks, but that did nothing, other than to remove all the transparencies and colors as expected. I would like to keep the model appearances AND have the transparencies STAY ON when I am panning, zooming or spinning the model.

Then check the boss extrude feature and edit the appearances and in the Advanced Tab, select the Illumination tab and then check the transparency..
