MACRO FOR CHANGING TRANSPARANCY?

MACRO FOR CHANGING TRANSPARANCY?

MACRO FOR CHANGING TRANSPARANCY?

(OP)
Does anyone know how to write a macro for changing the transparancy of a part in an assembly?  I've tried reording one a few different ways but have been unsucessful.  I would like to be able to hit a button on the keyboard ie: "q" and by hitting this button the part i had clicked on will become transparent. Any ideas, i'm assuming this is pretty easy but i'm newer to macro's.

RE: MACRO FOR CHANGING TRANSPARANCY?

You don't need a macro to change the transparency of a part in an assembly.  Right click on the part and click "change transparency".  If you really need it in a macro, record the above.
