If the component has multiple iMate definitions, the component loses its transparency after the first iMate result is accepted. Accept the iMate result to place the component. When the component is first previewed, it is transparent, to indicate that it is not yet placed in the assembly. You can accept or discard solutions as needed. When placing a component using iMates, use the preview mode to cycle through iMates on the component and on the target component.
