If you want one as a wireframe and one as shaded then use two different viewports. Set one viewport to 3D Wireframe visual style and the other to Shaded visual style.

Below is a snip showing with 2 model space viewports. You can do the same thing with paper space viewports.

If I have misunderstood, please explain further or post pictures of what you would like to see.

thanks, I did not know how to use the viewports but anyway my issue is that I want to create a solid column filled with black color in every corner but I want everything else to be hidden ( have only borders and not filled with color )

Is the Hidden visual style what you need?

I agree with @neaton that you need different viewports.

 

If necessary, the two viewports can overlap or be stacked so you can see both shaded and hidden objects.

"Hide" objects and "wire frame" objects should be on separate layers.

Set the visual style and layer visibility of each view port.

Adjust the draw order of the viewports.

 

Tips:

  • Aligning viewports is difficult. It is easiest to create a viewport, adjust the view, scale and layers. Then copy the viewport to the same location.
  • Then adjust the layers of the second viewport.
  • Lock the viewports.
  • Save layer states for the "Hide" and "Wire frame" viewports.
  • It can be difficult to select the "bottom" viewport; carefully dragging the corners of the upper viewport inward will make selecting the lower viewport easier.
  • If the viewports get out of alignment, it is easiest to delete one of the viewports, copy the other, then apply the apply the correct label state.

So how does this work if there is an AutoCAD assembly?  I want most of my drawing to be shown as wire-frame but there are some aspects I want to be shown as solid.  Can you mix the view styles in an assembly?

This is an oldie!

 

I am not sure what you mean by an assembly.

A sketch or a sample file would help.

An assembly could be anything comprising of more than one object - usually joined or fixed together.  A nut and bolt is an assembly.  Can I make the nut hidden and the bolt wireframe?

Overlapping viewports with different layer states are still the solution.

The individual objects in your assembly need to be on appropriate layers.
