Appearance in Assemblies
By default, components that you add to an assembly are displayed using
the appearance properties (such as color and transparency) specified in
the original part document. This is true for all shaded and wireframe
display modes. You can override the part appearance for selected instances,
or use the default appearance for the assembly. You can apply the changes
to the part document or to the component in the assembly (leaving the
part document unchanged).
