Can't pick data when "See-Thru" mode is active

[wackolacko]

Can anyone else confirm that when "see-thru" mode is active you can't pick data that is inside/hidden by a solid. I can pick the data if I make geometry translucent, but I thought that "see-thru" mode made things translucent also.

Try setting your See-Thru mode to the 'See-Thru Layers' option.

But even then, you'll still need to make sure that the selection option 'Allow Selection of Hidden Wireframe' is toggled ON (when the icon is selected it's toggled ON):
