The ability to hide selected parts in a 3D CAD assembly allows you to create views that allow shop floor operators to see parts that might otherwise be obscured.

Hiding parts with this feature is temporary; changes you make are not saved with the selected view. If you want to show an assembly with some parts hidden, use the Snapshot toolbar button to save a *.png image of the assembly without the hidden parts.

  1. In the Process Definition window, select a part to hide. (To select multiple parts, use Ctrl+click.)

    The part(s) will be highlighted using the current highlight fill and line colors.
