Making Cabinet Transparent In Line Drawing
Making Cabinet Transparent In Line Drawing
(OP)
Is there a way to make a specific part/s transparent in a detail drawing while all other parts still display hidden lines removed?
What I'm doing is doing 3D overall parts layout views of some electronics cabinets. I'd like to make it so you can see through the cabinet (as if it were transparent), but all the parts mounted to the panel inside still to display as hidden lines removed.
You can do this in shaded mode, but the drawings I'm doing need to be in line format, not shaded.
This is a common thing I need to do. 3 of us tried to figure out a way yesterday with no success. Is this impossible, or did we miss something.
Thanks

Then adjust the line font of the converted edges as required.

I'm really not sure we're all talking about the same thing.
I've seen people add files to their posts. How do you do this? I've got a JPG file that'd clearly show what I'm attempting to do, but I see no options for adding it to a post.
HELP?
