I am trying to make a macro which will be able to make a selected Drawing View hidden component to show hidden edges (Solidworks Snip below).

I have managed to select the required component "FL-ANSI-10-P-CS-1" with the macro shown below, but my problem is that the line:     "swDrawComp.View.SetDisplayMode3 False, swDisplayMode_e.swHIDDEN_GREYED, True, False"

is equivalent to the click of the "Hidden Lines Visible" in a Solidworks drawing for the whole selected view and not only for one required component "FL-ANSI-10-P-CS-1", which I select with the line:

     "swDrawComp.Select True, Nothing"

Thank you in advance,

I will appreciate any ideas or thoughts...
