Xray!?
 

Hi!
For some reason I can't get Xray to work when I work with my surfaces. It is greyed out in the shading menu and the quick button does nothing to my selected object. Some
setting I forgotten?

I'm a newly reformed 3D studio user so I'm a bit unsure of all the settings that needs to be done.

Well if you're trying to switch to xray mode you have to be in shaded mode first, I can't think of any other reason.

does it have to be in an orthographic ( i think i got it right) view...like front side of back? or can you do it from perspective to.

You can do it in any camera, orthographic or perspective, but as GecT said, you must be in shaded mode first. Press 5 on your keyboard and it should show up.
