An assembly is open in NX.
A component in the assembly has translucency in order to view the other components behind or underneath this component.
When making the translucent component the work part, other components in the assembly can no longer be viewed behind or under the work component, even though the work component is shown as translucent.
How can other components in the assembly still be seen behind or underneath the work component in an assembly?
Turn OFF 'See-Thru De-emphasized Objects' in Visualization Preferences.
1. File-->Preferences-->Visualization
2. Expand 'Emphasis' and highlight 'Precedence'.
3. Turn off 'See-Thru De-emphasized Objects'.
4. OK.
Now the de-emphasized components are still visible behind the work component.
