How do I print an unshaded circle?
New to Onshape, searched and couldn't find an answer.
I need to print a circle with no shading. I tried going to the "Camera and Render Options", and selecting "Hidden, edges visible".
I am astounded something so seemingly simple can be so difficult.

And that didn't work for you? Seems simple enough to me.

Oh wait, did you just create a sketch on its own? An enclosed sketch will always be shaded. Make it 3D using the extrude feature, then the hidden with visible edges will work.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEA0

I extruded and it still prints shaded.

Hide the sketch

Okay, I made sure hidden edges visible was selected, the I hid the sketch, but it still prints with shading. Please see attached screenshot.

Print goes from the graphics area, so it's just like taking a screenshot but with higher resolution and an alpha channel. What you probably want is to make a drawing and export that as DXF/PDF or right click the sketch and export as DXF.

It prints what it sees so if you select the solid like you have then that’s how it will print. Press space bar to deselect.Senior Director, Technical Services, EMEA0

I thought the selection could be problem but his Screen Shot 4 shows no selection and still shaded.
I have been unable to reproduce the shaded print when sketch is hidden. Not sure what is going on...
