Hi! There is a less straight forward way to do that. You will need to set the "background" components to Reference components. Then set the Reference components layer to solid line but in gray color. It should work but it seems to much work just to highlight a few components in the drawing view. Do you might elaborate the need to do this? Couldn't you use Detail View to highlight the components?

Many thanks!

i absolutely have no idea about what u r talking about. whats background component

[TheCADWhisperer]

The gray components in the background.

If you set the background components to reference, wouldn't that affect them in the whole assembly?

Hello,

Yes, it is affect to entire assembly especially for BOM.

Another way to try, Make the one you like to highlighted invisible in the drawing and create a new sketch based on the view, project all of geometries and change the display style to gray, then, make all of those components invisible and make the highlighted one visible again, you are all set now.

Hope it helps!

The easiest and most straight forward method to achieve what you desire is to use the Properties of each part or sub-assembly in the browser.  Take a look at my screencast to see what I mean.
