I have a product that I need drawing views of for a presentation. What I would like, is to make some of the top (Foreground) components phantom lines (Transparent) so that I can see the components behind them as solid lines. I still want to see the top components, but just as phantom lines as I mentioned.

I am trying to create drawing views of our products assemblied to customers interface components. I want our components as solid geometry and the customers as phantom lines (Reference).

Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Runz
 
Here is one solution...

Create two views using overload properties. One view would contain TOP components with defined properties (line type, color, etc). Second view would contain BOTTOM components with defined properties. Finally, use superpose option to merge two view together.

Hope it helps.
