Hybrid Wireframe and Shaded Views in Autodesk Inventor

Hybrid Wireframe and Shaded Views in Autodesk Inventor

Issue:
You want to create a view on your drawing that has some parts shaded and some that look wire-framed, so you can show some particular detail of your assembly in your detailed drawing.


In the past you could do it as described in tip #1 at this link, but that seems not to work now.

Solution:
Here is another way to do this.

Create one new Positional Representation ( no need to do anything else with it, other than creating it).

Create 2 View Representations

In View Representation 1, turn off the visibility of the part you want to show wireframe

In View Representation 2, turn off the visibility of everything else

Create a drawing Base View and set it to use View Representation 2

Create an Overlay View, and set it to use the Positional Representation and View Representation 1

In the Overlay View dialog box set the style to be not shaded & hidden lines removed

And also in the Overlay View dialog box set the Layer dropdown to be As Parts.

Heres a link to a quick video I created, but I think the CADLine blog has covered this better at this link:
