Is there a line of code that will look at a drawing view and turn shading on?

I have tried

ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").View.Shaded = True

but it didn't work

There was an older post here: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Inventor-Customization/iLogic-code-for-Visual-styles-Shaded-w...

Hope that helps you.

Thanks but the post seems to be refering to the Display Style in the modelling environment, whereas I want to change the style of a drawing view.

This is from VBA, experiment with it to make it work in iLogic.

DrawingView.ViewStyle = kShadedDrawingViewStyle

I'm not sure how familiar you are with coding in iLogic, but post back if you need more help.

This iLogic code works for a drawing and changes all views in the selected sheet.

Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
 oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oSheet As Sheet
oSheet = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet

' select drawing views on active sheet
Dim oDrawView As DrawingView

For Each oDrawView In oSheet.DrawingViews
  'adjust drawing view style
  oDrawView.ViewStyle = DrawingViewStyleEnum.kShadedHiddenLineDrawingViewStyle

'OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM
'  kHiddenLineDrawingViewStyle = 32257
'  kHiddenLineRemovedDrawingViewStyle = 32258
'  kShadedDrawingViewStyle = 32259
'  kShadedHiddenLineDrawingViewStyle = 32261
'  kFromBaseDrawingViewStyle = 32260

Thanks Mike,

I have been having a play around but haven't had any luck yet.  i though the following may work but Inventor can not recognise 'View Style':

ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").ViewStyle=kshadedDrawingViewStyle

I get the folliwng error:

Rule Compile Errors in Rule0, in 09090G00105414.idw

Error on Line 1 : 'ViewStyle' is not a member of 'Autodesk.iLogic.Interfaces.ICadDrawingView'.
