Dimming (graying

out) Slots and Harnesses that are Locked by Other Users or that Are Unlocked

You can dim (gray out) slots and harnesses in the design if they are locked by other users or are unlocked. This helps you to see which objects are locked by you and are therefore editable in the design. If you print out a design, any dimmed objects are printed normally.

Procedure

Ensure that the dimming functionality is enabled by clicking the Dim By Harness Lock Status button at the bottom of the application window so that it has no red stop sign displayed. If a red stop sign is displayed , no objects are dimmed in the design. Alternatively, you can right-click the Dim By Harness Lock Status button to display two sliders and a Dim check box. Check the box to enable the dimming of objects.
Display the sliders by right-clicking on the button. One slider is for unlocked objects and the other is for objects locked by other users . Move the sliders down to dim out objects and move the slider up to make objects clearer.
Click in the main application window to hide the sliders.
