How to show component in strip-dot-dot lines in assembly drawing of Pro Engineering WildFire 5.0

Generally we want to show a component in strip-dot-dot lines in assembly drawing to present it has special notes.


As shown in picture above, the base plate is shown strip-dot-dot lines instead of continuous lines.

There are two ways to do that, they are:

1. Choose menu "Layout | Format | Component Display", pick component, and then select member style "Phantom" (Strip-dot-dot)

2. Choose menu "Layout | Format | Edge Display", pick the lines that are going to be changed, and then choose "Hidden Style".

The first way is used to change all component lines representation, and the second one is used to change only a few lines.
