Default Display |
Components set to Default Display
use the display mode of the top level assembly in the current window,
as set on the View menu and toolbar. |
Appearance
|
(blank) |
|
No appearance applied to the
sub-assembly. |

|
Part Color |
Lower-right triangle shows the appearance of the part from the part
document. |

|
Override Color / Part Color |
Upper-left triangle shows the override appearance specified in the assembly
document. |
Transparency
|
(blank) |
|
No transparency applied (part is opaque). |
![](../art_otherUI/display_pane_icon_transparency.gif)
|
Transparent |
75% transparency applied to the
color of the component. |
Transparency
and Appearance
are linked. If you change the transparency slider under Optical Properties in the Color
and Optics PropertyManager to a value other than 0.00,
an override is applied in both the appearance and the transparency columns
in the Display Pane. Likewise, if you apply transparency in the transparency
column, an override also appears in the appearance column, because the
transparency of the appearance has been changed to 75%.
For sub-assembly components, display settings are stored in the display
state of the sub-assembly. Faded icons indicate display settings applied
in the sub-assembly or part document. If you override a sub-assembly setting
in the assembly, the icons change to normal color intensity (not faded).

or part document.

|
Override applied in the assembly to change display mode of the sub-assembly
component to Hidden Lines Visible. |
If you move the
pointer over display settings in the Display Pane, a tooltip appears showing
the name, configuration, and display state of the assembly where the setting
is set.
You can remove display setting overrides from sub-assembly components.
To remove overrides from one sub-assembly component:
Click an icon in the Display Pane for the
component and select Clear Override
.
All display setting overrides for that component
are removed.
To remove all overrides for all sub-assembly components:
In the Display Pane:
- or -
Select Clear
All Top Level Overrides
.
All display setting overrides for all sub-assembly
components are removed.
Display settings for top level components are stored in the
display state of the top level assembly. Therefore, they always appear
in the normal color intensity (not faded), and are not affected by the
commands to clear overrides.
In the Display
Pane, you can add new display
states to the assembly, and change from one display state to
another.
To create a new display state:
Right-click
anywhere in the Display Pane and select Add
Display State.
Type a
name for the new display state and press Enter.
The name of
the new display state appears in angle brackets after the configuration
name at the top of the FeatureManager design tree.
To change from one display state
to another:
Right-click
anywhere in the Display Pane, select Activate
Display State, and select a display state.
