This will pop up a dialog with a library of icons to pick from. In this dialog, click the Browse… button to select an image file to be displayed on the ribbon button for the macro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contributor<\/strong>: @TusharSuradkar<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2.<\/strong> Click and drag in the trim tool isn’t working for\nme in the synchronous mode in Solid Edge 2019 anymore. Is there some key I may\nhave pressed to lock it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the\nsynchronous environment, before you can use the drag method you must lock the\nsketch plane. The best way to do this is to select the sketch in Pathfinder, and then\nuse the Lock Sketch Plane command\non the shortcut menu. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Contributor<\/strong>: @Yabusa<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3.<\/strong> Why can I drag a grounded part in an assembly? Is\nthere a setting to set grounded parts to fully grounded relative to the\nassembly coordinate system?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tip<\/strong>: In the Drag Component command, there is an option\nthat lets you specify whether or not you can move grounded components.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contributor<\/strong>: @GregL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4.<\/strong> I am looking for a way to have a view of an assembly saved with transparent parts independent from the original – without having 2 separate assemblies. I tried this with the style option and saving the view as a new one but it does not work as it is only the view configuration and not the model properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tip<\/strong>: If you want parts to appear transparent in the\nDraft so you can see through them without creating an exploded view, from the\nassembly, you can use Configurations to hide certain parts and then use those\nConfigurations to create draft views, but the hidden parts will be missing in\nthose views that use that configuration, not just transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, you can go into the Drawing View Properties and on the Display tab, select the part you want to make “transparent” and then uncheck “Derive “Display as Reference” from Assembly” and then check “Display as Reference”. This will make the parts appear as if they are transparent and will change their object lines to a phantom line style instead of solid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
