Changing a part's linestyle

How do I change the line style of a part in an assembly drawing view?
I want to show that some parts are simply for reference and display
them in a phantoom line style.

 

Right-click on the part and select component line font. Go from there. This
will change the line font in every view. I guess you could use layers as
well, but I've not tried that.

Do you mean the VERY obvious radio button asking "From Selection" / "All
Views"

DOH! Right in front of my face. Thanks Krister.

If I'm not wrong here, Youll get the option to choose wheter You wanna
change the line font in all views or only upon selection

Thanks, but either this doesn't work, the online help steps are
inaccurate or I need to stop staring at a monitor all day!

When I select "Component Line Font..." it opens the Component Line
Font dialog box. I uncheck "Use document defaults", then select the
style I want (Tangent Edges style - Phantoom lines). Click OK and
nothing happens? For some reason the Apply button is dimmed also -
could this be the problem. I have tried it on different parts, but
each time it doesn't work.

Help, please!!!

P.S. Drawing view option is set to "All views"

 

Hmmm...seems to be something wrong here.....I just opened an old drawing
made in March 2000 with one part set to linefont phantom thin. The drawing
has two sheets and the part with phantom line font is only included in sheet
two. Now the other part has changed the linefont to phantom thin, even
though all settings tells me it's "document default" which is set to solid
normal. Can't get it back....sent it to VAR for explanation
