IDW shaded views

Is there a way when you have an IDW that is using shaded views to get is so that in an iso view the color is the same no matter which side of a part you are looking at?

Create a lighting style with no lights and ambient lighting turned up high. This should give you a relatively smooth looking part with no shadows.

Okay, how do you create a lighting style in an IDW?

it should use the lighting style from the assembly. Open the assembly, Format=>Styles Editor..., expand the Lighting icon on the left hand side, create a new style, turn off the lights, crank up the ambience, save to styles library.

Well if you will look at this 2 differant attachments you can see that in the IDW the top of the square tube is shaded put int the assembly it isn't. What am I doing wrong?

you aren't doing anything wrong and it looks fairly normal. If you have updated your lighting styles to create the "less shaded" look, and you had already made the IDW view, you will have to reset the Design View Representation so the updates will carry over (or you can make the design view associative).

I made the IDW after I had updated the assembly.

So does this mean since I am not hearing from anyone else that this is just how inventor works? Or is there something else that I can do?
