How to change color of assemblies in drawing SEE PIC ATTACHED

How to change color of assemblies in drawing SEE PIC ATTACHED

(OP)

Hi,

Trying to get my SW 2008 drawing colors to come out uniformly white. I've gone into the part files and assemblies and changed them all to white, but the walls still come out gray/shaded. Is there a shader on somewhere? How can I get all my objects to read as white on the drawing,,,it's too dark!

Thank you!

Do you need 'Shaded with edges' turned on? If not, switch it to 'Hidden lines removed'.

I think it may have something to do with the material selection.  Using different materials will yield different colors on the drawing just like in the model.

Hope this helps

Make sure all parts and assemblies are using the same Scene.

Materials and Appearances used will also affect colour.

thanks all! Bumping up the ambient lighting fixed it!

--Haven't read the previous responses, so excuse me if it's been said, but I've had success adding 'spot lights' and 'point lighting' when I wanted my whites to be more or less white.
