Display States in Parts

A part's display settings are stored in display states in the part.

Part display states control the appearance, display mode, hide/show, and transparency of bodies, features, faces, and parts as shown:

Features     X X
Features that you can hide such as sketches, reference geometry, curves, parting lines, and routing points X
