Can Inventor Studio render the edges of parts?

You know how in the Application Options setting you can change it so that all the edges of your part or parts are outlined with a black line. My question is, is there any way to render this with the black lines showing?

I know they show up if you use the illustration render option, but there's some kinda of weird glitch where it draws extra lines in wherever there is a row of holes, and it looks really stupid.

Anyway to fix this or render with realistic mode and have the edge lines show up? Otherwise if you try to render 2 flat parts made of the same material together, they blend in together and look like one solid part.

The "save copy as" (and then choose png) is better than a screen-dump - with
a screen-grab you're limited to the same number of pixels as the display
resolution, but if you use the options box in the "save copy as" you can
tailor the pixel resolution up to 4096x4096.

and, yes, use png over jpg - been discussed previously so wont go into
details, but png is a lossless compressed image but jpg is lossy (bottom
line the jpg image compression method adds errors and removes detail in the
image but the png doesn't).

You know that you can also hit PrintScreen or Ctrl-PrintScreen to save the
display or active window respectively to the clipboard, then start your
graphics programs, and paste as new image?

I posted it so those not upgrading would have the benefit of it as well. 🙂
