Assembly has color. Engineering drawing has No color

This is a sophomore assignment project.  As you can see the individual parts the assembly have color.  The engineering drawing has no color in the assembly.  Why?  ( Inventor keep the continuity through the project. )  The ISO engineering drawing should bring the color with it and it does not, so the continuity is gone.  I am really trying to learn OS, so I really appreciate everyone's input 

Another item that Inventor allows me to do on this project on the assembly plate drawing is rotate the assembly 180 degrees so that the top, back, and left faces can be seen as well.  This help the student visually, and when ballooning the puzzle components.  I'm a pretty intelligent person.  I'm sure this is a link share challenge on my part. so be patient.  Link, Share, Make Public, Not make public is really very confusing, or I'm just making it harder than it seems.  Great (Google Docs format)

Thanks everyone.

    Right click on view for context menu and select 'shaded view'.

    I already went into link sharing pretty deep in response to your other post you made a while back here. I guess you never saw it, which is a bit unfortunate. In any case, I would recommend taking a look at that, then replying there if you have any additional questions.

    You also mentioned adding multiple views to your drawing. Here is the help pages for adding drawing views. 

    First, you'll need to add a single view such as front, back, left, right, etc. Then select the "projected view" tool. After selecting the tool, click on the first view you created and then move the mouse to the side to place a projected view from that side. You can repeat as needed to add as many projected views as you want.
