Arnold Shaders do not display in Viewport 2.0

[halfstone]

Well, this seems like a stupid question, but I haven't seen it confirmed or denied anywhere, so I may as well ask it. 

I have never been able to use Arnold materials with Viewport 2.0.  Is this something that just doesn't function?  

My workaround is to just use the Arnold IPR renderer - but if I'm doing something wrong or if there's a setting missing somewhere, I'd like to know about it.  At the same time, if it just doesn't work and I'm wasting my time, I'd like to know that also.  

Thanks

Hi!

Currently (Maya 2018) there is only very limited support for Arnold shaders in Viewport 2.0, but aiStandardSurface and aiStandardHair should work.

Thank you.  I thought I may have been doing something wrong.
