Select a ipt of iam in idw and make it shaded

[richard.koch]

If you select Part Priority you can select ipt's of iam's and make them visible or you can show the hidden lines.

I would like to change also the stye of the part to shaded, while the rest of the iam is not shaded.

In the drawing view I can either have the entire view in colour or the entire view in black and white. 

It would be good to be able to single out specific parts in a drawing.

So if I had an assembly I could select which parts I want to be in colour and the rest would be B&W. 

It would allow us to make drawings clearer in busy assemblies.

A workaround would be to make a design view, in the assembly/presentation, where you color everything white/transparant except the parts you want to highlight.

We been trying to get AutoDesk to add this to Inventor since we lost Mechanical Desktop

Maybe, finally they will listen

Add transparent option to that menu!

Here is my workaround to get my result i need, but the way i have posted above would be much better.

I make a workaround with the overlay function:

Would be nice if you could control shading for some parts in drawing views instead of all parts either shaded or not. So if I had a drawing view of an assembly, I sometimes would like to be able to shade one or two parts only, not all parts in the view. Might be nice to have the flexibility to do this.

Love the idea.  +1 from me.

As an interesting reference:  SolidWorks can do this in assemblies where you can control the render type of individual parts/assemblies as shaded, lines, etc (I cant remember if they can do it in drawings).  Having some experience with being able to control the render type, I definitely see usefulness in the IV drawing environment. 

This may be pretty far out, but what if IV could set the render type as shaded/lines, etc, as a visual representation in the assembly that could then be linked to a drawing?

On the topic of helping busy drawings become easier to follow, here is an old post that proposes a different solution:

"Part Layers" in drawing environment to help distinguish new/existing parts

Idea added to backlog for future consideration [58102]. Thanks!

Come on Autodesk implement this functionality as soon as possible and stop with the nonsense workarounds all the time.

Have been working with Inventor over 25 years and seen some great improvements but unfortunately also noticing

the limited improvements each time a new version is introduced.

Sorry but quite frustrated with the slow pace of Autodesk in the development.

In 2024 version the revision cloud was introduced. Thumbs up for Autodesk. Is this called development? This function was there to be installed separately for many years.
