Component Line Font

The other day a customer called in and wanted to show in a drawing one of the components of an assembly in a dashed state. I thought this to be a nice feature to have but did not know if it was possible. So I started looking into this and I stumbled upon Component Line Font from the right click menu. This allows you to change the default setting for Visible Edges, Hidden, Tangent Edges and Crosshatch.

Once you unselect ”Use document defaults” you can change the Line style or Line thickness setting for each. You can also set it to change for all views or just the selected view. Once you have applied this and click on “OK” the drawing will update. As I show in the picture below, the top component is dashed and the bottom one is solid line.
