About Using Shaded Viewports (VBA/ActiveX)

If your drawing contains 3D faces, meshes, extruded objects, surfaces, or solids, you can plot from paper space using the As Displayed, Wireframe, Hidden, and Rendered options.

Shaded and rendered viewports are plot-previewed, plotted, and plotted to file with full shading and rendering.

To set an option for shaded viewport plotting in paper space, use the ShadePlot property of the PViewport object.

Note: To hide lines in plots of model space viewports (Viewport objects) use the PlotHidden property of the Layout object. This property takes a Boolean value: TRUE to remove hidden lines, FALSE to draw them.
