3D Text in Assy Mode?

I am modeling a part, and there will be several different part numbers for the same physical model (the operating voltages change). I can place a sketch (text) with the part number in the assembly (good), but the text (unless extruded to a thickness) shows thru the entire model?


This works in the part mode, because I can then take the text sketch and extrude it to a minimal thickness (usually about half a mil) and it will then be viewable only from the side of the model that it is placed on. The key is that in this instance, I want the same functionality in the assembly mode, as the part numberf pertains to the assembled parts. Any thoughts, anyone????


Thx!
