Shadows
Displays a shadow under the model. When shadows are displayed, the light
appears from the top-most part of the model in the current orientation.
When you rotate the model, the shadow rotates with the model.
When you have shadows enabled, system performance
is slower during dynamic view operations (zoom, pan, rotate, and so on).
Shadows In Shaded Mode is not
available when an assembly is in Large Assembly Mode.
To turn on shadows:
Click one of the following:

To change the placement of the shadow, turn
Shadows In Shaded Mode off, rotate
the model, then turn the shadows on again.
