Displaying a drawing with a visual style

 

Visual styles allow you to easily view your drawing using different methods according

to your needs. For example, if you’re just starting a new drawing, you might want to view it using a wireframe mode, which looks similar to a model made out of wire and displays faster than more complex visual styles.

 

The following visual styles are available:

 

• 2D Wireframe — Drawing displays in two dimensions with all lines drawn at the

  edge of entities.

• 3D Wireframe — Drawing displays in three dimensions with all lines drawn at the

  edge of entities.

• 3D Hidden — Drawing displays in three dimensions with all lines drawn at the

  edge of entities except those behind surfaces.

• Realistic — Drawing displays in three dimensions with surfaces filled with

  assigned materials.

• Conceptual — Drawing displays in three dimensions with surfaces filled with

  assigned materials and more conceptual detail.
