Issue:You want to create a view on your drawing that has some parts shaded and some that look wire-framed, so you can show some particular detail of your assembly in your detailed drawing.
In the past you could do it as described in tip #1 at this link, but that seems not to work now.

Create one new Positional Representation ( no need to do anything else with it, other than creating it).Create 2 View RepresentationsIn View Representation 1, turn off the visibility of the part you want to show wireframeIn View Representation 2, turn off the visibility of everything elseCreate a drawing Base View and set it to use View Representation 2Create an Overlay View, and set it to use the Positional Representation and View Representation 1In the Overlay View dialog box set the style to be not shaded & hidden lines removedAnd also in the Overlay View dialog box set the Layer dropdown to be 'As Parts'.Here's a link to
