Transparent part option in drawing

[Anonymous]

I'm working on an assembly that has some polycarbonate sheet as a cover. I'd like it if I could see what is behind the clear material in my drawing.

This is very different than wanting hidden lines - I do NOT want to see every hidden line of the parts behind the transparent material. I only want to see the next visible part, maybe as a lighter line, but only the visible edges.

It would be great if there was an option when you right click a part to set as transparent in the drawing - similar to toggling visibility or hidden lines.

This idea has been implemented within Autodesk Inventor 2016. Special thanks to the author of this Idea and likewise to everyone who cast your Kudo for it.  A right click contextual option "Transparent" is now available on components from witin the view node within the browser.

Having used this in 2016 I think the implementation could be improved. As this idea has been marked as implemented I have started a new idea- please take a look
