Transparent part do not appear in a drawing

Anonymous — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:51:42 GMT

Hello Team,

I am having an issue with a drawing, I have an assembly running in Inventor, the parts appear to be in a transparent mode, it is actually a translation from CATIA V5, everything seems to be ok, but when I open a drawing to create dimensions, only the parts that are not transparent appear in it. Please help me, I will appreciate a lot the help.

Thanks!!!!

Perhaps the V5 document is in surfaces.

Go to drawing and in browser include all surfaces,

The transparency is because the parts are surface bodies rather than solid bodies.
Depending on the quality of the geometry you might be able to easily get solid bodies if you need information like mass properties (weight, volume...).
