How to disable reflections and gradients in shaded views

You would like to have an option to disable reflections in the shaded views that you create.
 
Answer 


We introduced from Inventor 2010 support for disabling reflections in drawings. In order to do this, users need to add DWORD registry key named "Suppress Specular Color" with value greater than zero under the following registry key.


Note:

 

Prior to creating this registry key, you need to have the following hotfix installed for Inventor 2010:

 

http://usa.autodesk.com/getdoc/id=DL15338178

 

For Inventor 2011, you need to have SP1 installed.
 

Open the system registry and locate the following registry keys listed below (Start > Run > RegEdit):

 

1. Inventor 2010

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion14.0\Applets\DrawingLayout\Preferences\]

 

Create a key with this value:

 

"Suppress Specular Color"=dword:00000001


2. Inventor 2011

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Autodesk\Inventor\RegistryVersion15.0\Applets\DrawingLayout\Preferences\]

 

Create a key with this value:

 

"Suppress Specular Color"=dword:00000001


If the key is not present or its value is zero or less, then reflections are enabled under drawings (Default behavior).


Note: The key is read only once per Inventor session -  after adding the key or changing its value,  users need to restart the Inventor session.

 

Please find attached as well the registry files for both Inventor versions. By double clicking the appropriate registry file, you can automatically create in your registry the key, as explained above.

This does not work for cropped views.  The specular lighting comes back.
