Change display style of views from shaded to hlr

Robert Voogt Aug 1, 2018 10:42 AM

Hi all,

When my code processes all the old drawings, some of the drawings still show views with the shaded display style.

I would like to have it changed to hidden lines removed.

How could I achieve that?

I guess I need something like this?

If swView.GetDisplayMode2 = swSHADED Then

swView.SetDisplayMode 2 = ??

swView.SetDisplayMode3(False, swHIDDEN, True, True)

    Works like a charm:
    
    While Not swView Is Nothing boolstatus = swView.SetDisplayMode3(False, swHIDDEN, True, True) Set swView = swView.GetNextView Wend
