Dear All,

when editing a part of an assembly in ProE, I make it active, and when I do so, all other parts of the assembly become transparent (dotted and transparent, to be exact).
Is it possible to avoid that, so the appearance of the assembly remains the same?
I did not find anything for that in config.pro options, but maybe I overlooked something.

Thanks,
Peter

Set "dim_inactive_components" to "never" in your config.pro file.
 
You might find the transparency settings helpfull in some instances and instead of having to change a config setting you can use a mapkey to disable transparency display from
View > Display Settings > Model Display
[Shade] tab

Uncheck or recheck transparency radio button
I use

d8 @MAPKEY_LABEL> Enable Traansparency
d9 @MAPKEY_LABEL> Disable Traansparency

same can be done for shade with/wthout edges
These don't act as toggles like some other on off options but they work fine with all the possible letter+number combinations.
