Simplified Representation Style not available in Drawing

I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.0.0

I created a Simplified Representation of an Assembly. I created a Style for the Simplified Representation. I have a drawing, I added the model to the drawing (Simplified Representation chosen). The Style grouped with the Simplified Representation does not come through.

My goal is to have some parts transparent and other parts not -- this is the Style I created. The view is an Isometric view, with shading turned on.

I moved on to re-creating the Style I already made in the assembly, in the drawing, using Component Display. Component Display isn't working. I select my components, select PhantomOpque, won't save.

Is your simplified rep one of the drawing models? The rep needs to be available as one of the drawing models, then set the rep model to be active before you create the view. Try this and report back.

In drawing mode:

Right click/ Properties/ drawing models/ set/add rep and select your Simp rep

This should add it to the drawing.

It is indeed. I don't know of another way to get a model into a drawing than having it set/active in the drawing. Model tree shows the part number, Representation shows the Simp. Rep. Another check, from the Drawing View combo box, View States, the correct representation shows up in Simplified Representation. I feel like I've exhausted all options, it just doesn't seem like the Style you create, save, and group with a Simplified Representation ports over to the drawing from the assembly model.

Regarding this, "I moved on to re-creating the Style I already made in the assembly, in the drawing, using Component Display. Component Display isn't working. I select my components, select PhantomOpque, won't save"

Turns out this works, but only when you don't have shaded/shading with edges selected as the Display Style.

Creo seems to have a lot of restrictions when it comes to wanting to display things in 3D/shaded when in drawing mode. Not an issue for a lot of work, but when you're doing design intent reports, instruction manuals, diagrams, etc., it certainly does come up.
