Shade printing

[Frank]

Trying to print a shaded solid on Autocad 2000 only produces wireframe
images, whereas later versions will print the shaded image. Does anyone know
a way of printing shaded solids with Autocad 2000? Thanks.

I use render to file then open a new drawing & go to paper space & insert
raster image.
then print like normal

Thanks, Mike. I have been doing this, but I was after a higher resolution
print.
I guess I'll have to learn to render!

Thanks longshot, but don't you have to set up the lighting to get it as good
as 'shade'?
