CBL - I see what you mean
I had thought you meant to save a coloured block as a separate part (my mistake for misinterpreting a very clear suggestion) and then position it as a drawing view behind my other drawing views - which is still something I can't achieve.
I guess I can do what you...
Thanks smcadman
It comes back to the same problem - I can make a solid part as you suggest but when I try to put it in a certain position ie behind other parts I have brought into the model I dont have the control to do this.
I need to be able to move drawing views around - decide what looks...

When I have tried this approach the jpeg from my screen grab always seems pixally when I bring it into the drawing page as a jpeg.

I cannot seem to put a block of colour behind the drawings.
If I try to put one drawing in front of another so that they overlap i...
I am doing a presentation piece of work and am experiencing a few difficulties.
I want to use a drawing page to present my final images.
1. On screen I can overlap part images of the same part so that one appears in front of another but in the print preview the final piece does not look the...
Thanks CBL and Scott - With your help I'm getting closer.
I need the LCD screen to be on a 3D view - I have got the angle I want by taking a screen grab from the part drawing and inserting the required portion (edited in paint!)as an object but I am obviously getting a "squared off" image.
