Hi

Quite weird, I can't change the transparency on the "Lock and angle pin holder" component on the mold document (not the component itself)

Got an idea

Thanks a lot.

Cheers

Hello Remi,

You can not modify the transparency of this component as it is set to follow the properties of the library file itself. To Resolve this you have two solutions. The first would be to edit the library component itself.

The other would be to use the Modify element function. To do this follow these steps:

Select Modify Element (Wrench Icon)
Select the Library Part
Choose the Attributes button from the prompt line
Set Graphical Attributes to Manual
Click the OK button in the prompt line

You can not modify the color and transparency of the library component.

Also, when you insert the component, prior to clicking OK out of the standard component inclusion window, you can modify how the graphical attributes will work for the component.

You can do this by selecting the >> button at the bottom of the window. Then click on the Attributes Tab
Under the graphical Attributes section, set it to Initial values of template.

Now load the component. from there, you can modify color and transparency as you want.

Have fun!
