I have changed the overlay layer as suggested and updated the document style.

 

But the Phantom parts still show as a visiable line. it appears that Phantom items are on the visiable line layer not the overlay layer.

 

How can i change the layer for phantom items?

Hi murftas,

 

Here are some steps that I think will do what you're after:

  1. Expand the browser in the drawing, and locate the node for the view you're working with (ex: View4).
  2. Then expand the assembly model tree, and locate the node for the part you're working with.
  3. Then right click on the part node in the brower and choose, Select as Edges.
  4. Then go to the Annotate tab, and locate Layer drop down menu on the Format panel.
  5. Then choose the layer you want from the drop down.

I hope this helps.
Best of luck to you in all of your Inventor pursuits,
Curtis
