On the Shading and Color page (Drawing View Properties dialog box), select the Show shading in drawing views check box.
Set the other options you want on the Shading and Color page and click OK.
Update the drawing view.
The drawing view is displayed with the shading you specified.
You also can control basic shading (color or grayscale, as well as edge display) using the shading buttons on the Drawing View Selection command bar, the Auxiliary View command bar, the Section View command bar, and the Principal View command bar.
Note:
Changing shading settings for a drawing view, whether on the Shading and Color page of the Drawing View Properties dialog box or on a command bar, may cause the view to go out of date. If so, to see the drawing view with the new shading settings, update the drawing view.
Tip:
You can select edges (for example, for dimension placement or ballooning) regardless of whether the current shading setting displays the edges.
When you update a shaded drawing view, the view is rendered using the latest color assignments saved in the model file(s) (subject to the view settings).
Reference parts continue to display as reference parts in shaded drawing views.
By default, views derived from shaded drawing views are not shaded.
You cannot shade a 2D view, revolved section view, or a paper-thin section view.
Detail views do not have their own shading settings. Rather, they use the shading settings of their source views.
Some large drawing views may not shade. If this occurs, a warning icon is displayed in the Parts List in the Display page of the Drawing View Properties dialog box. Try setting the display quality to a lower setting, or reducing the size of the drawing view, or both.
If parts in a subassembly do not shade, then there may be a conflict between assembly color assignments and part face color assignments. Verify that the Use Part Face Colors option on the Shading and Color page of the Drawing View Properties dialog box is not selected.
