Customer Defaults - Subtracted Body Preview

[adam86]

Does anybody know the customer Default (Or just the location of the option) to turn off the ghost viewing of subtracted bodies.

Ie, if I shell a box, then hover over one of the shelled walls, it shows a "ghost" preview of the original form of the box. I believe this was a feature introduced in NX8, but not 100% sure.

Thanks in advance

Adam

Hi Adam,
You are correct as far as i remember it started from NX8.
You can go to preferences/selection/ and turn off HIGHLIGHT ORIGINAL as shown in the picture attached.

Kapmnit, you are a lifesaver! It is the most annoying thing ever!

Do you kow if there is a customer default that will turn this off on start up, or will i just have to de-select it everytime. I've searched through the defaults, but am unable to find anything under selection (unless it has been locked by the site admin)

There is NO Customer Default which controls the initial setting of the 'Highlight Original' option on the Preferences -> Selection... dialog.

However, if you toggle this option OFF, 'Dialog Memory' will remember this setting from session to session, until you decide to toggle it back ON.
