Controlling the Display of Hidden Edges

You can control the visibility of hidden edges when you select or highlight elements. You can define the color and intensity used to display hidden edges.

Available in SOLIDWORKS Composer, SOLIDWORKS Composer Player, and SOLIDWORKS Composer Sync.

In the (Default) Document Properties > Selection page, the Show hidden edges check box, and the Color Intensity slider are added in the Selection and Highlight sections. See Managing (Default) Document Properties > Selection, Composer Player > Managing Document Properties > Selection, or Sync > Managing Default Document Properties > Selection in Composer Help.

In the Document Properties > Advanced page, four corresponding properties are available in the Selection category. See Managing (Default) Document Properties > Advanced Properties, Composer Player > Managing Document Properties > Advanced Properties, or Sync > Managing Default Document Properties > Advanced Properties in Composer Help.

These new properties replace the Show hidden edges option and the Intensity slider that were available in the Application Preferences > Selection page in previous versions of SOLIDWORKS Composer.
