You can apply the Aspect VHL graphic rule option to drawings.

For example, you could have pipes in your model that include an Insulation aspect style. You want your drawings to include the Insulation aspect as part of the drawing, and you also want to set transparency so that both the pipes and the insulation can be seen as unique in the drawing.

Use Tools > Define View Style to create a view style that applies a graphic rule setting the aspect and transparency. As shown in the following example Graphic Rule - VHL dialog box, the Insulation aspect is selected, and the Make Transparent property is set to For other aspects of same object. This allows a different symbology to be applied to each aspect of the graphic object if necessary.

In marine mode drawings by rule view styles, the Graphic Style dialog box is used to assign VHL aspects. The dialog box looks different, but the procedure is similar to the above description. For more information, see Graphic Tab (Graphic Style Dialog Box).
