In "shaded with edges" display I can see lines that are not supposed to show, eg. edges behind a solid face, etc. Parts and faces don't look really solid. I can see through. Any idea? Using SW2006.
The parts are not that thin. The lines don't disappear when zooming in. I will send a picture later on. It is the same computer, program and operating system I have been using all along. I just noticed today those lines. I am using Windows XP Professional 2002 service pack 3. Where do I find the graphic cards info again?
Attached are 2 files, one screen shot from SW2006 and the other that same screen saved as jpg from Solidworks. I also noticed that movies created using animation are like the jpg file, no lines showing through.
what do you have set for large assembly mode? you may have to tweek some of the check boxes. now the jpeg i send is from 2009 and not 2006, it's looks different than yours.....i don't remember how it looks, because they have changed how something over the last 3 releases.
again using the older version could be the issue......250 enhancements each year over the last 4 years...and that could be the way it was, crap it's old and you may not be on the service pack that may of fixed it...chack the knowelege base and see if you can find it.
Sorry for the confusion, but as you can see from the previously attached files, the jpg is correct and the word document (Print Screen) is the bad one. I am thinking maybe all this issue is related to the assembly itself. Anyway, it probably won't matter as long as the output (jpg or animation) is correct.
Are the 'see-through' parts thin? If so that is a bug which has existed for many (all ?) versions.
If you zoom in, the edges should disappear.

wow 2006....what service pack, video card, operating system...99% of the time it's graphics issues
and if you are using 2006 on a new OS like vista may cause issues because vista wasn't even invented yet!

The large assembly mode is unchecked.
The word document is the screen capture from Solidworks, the jpg file is the file created when Save as jpg from SW.
The one I sent in Word is a PrintScreen.
OK, so which is correct? SW File > Save as > JPG or keyboard PrintScreen ?
Do you get the same result with either method?
Have you tried other screen grabber utilites?

I had the same problem, looking thru other forums I found the following solution that worked for me:
