Shaded view on a drawing ~ NX7.5 1

The only way is to select current display in the Source box. then you need to know if you want a white background or black. If you have dimensions or text, you may need to change color.
What version of NX is this ?
I looked at NX7.5 and it does have the option "Export shaded geometry as Wireframe",
- Do not tick this option.
NX will though always ( in my experience) print shaded views and images in color, no matter of black and white settings in other places.

I just tested this using NX 7.5.5.4 and with the 'Output' set to 'Color Wireframe' and the 'Export Raster Images in Drawing' toggled ON and 'Export Shaded Geometry as Wireframe' toggled OFF, it worked just fine.

It worked !
After following the suggestions, and still getting a negative result, I reduced my image resolution on the bottom of the print menu to "medium" with success.
I have a feeling there is some sort of memory or graphics issue with my computer.

If you're using a Drawing template, you'll need to open it and while in Modeling, go to...
View -> Visualization -> Basic Lights...
...and make whatever changes you want to the intensity and the ON/OFF status of the so-called 'basic' lights and hit OK. Now save your template and create a new drawing. Now when you set a View to be shaded, it will use whatever was set in the Drawing template.
