	This command should work in LT. Try the repair installation, or the dialog may be dragged off-screen. In any case, all settings from HLSETTINGS can be also set with the corresponding system variables.

	_visualstyles That brings up the same dialog box. I have MEP 2008 so I'm not sure if LT has anything to do with it or not.

	Thanks, I appreciate the response. I tried the repair installation but I still can't get the dialog box. The _visualstyles command doesn't work in AutoCad LT 2008. I downloaded a LT drawing from a manufacturers website and as you went from view to view the hidden lines disappear. I can draw in 3D/Iso but I do not know enough about how to set my drawing up. When checking the objects in the downloaded drawings they are called a 'polygon mesh' in properties. Thanks again for all your help!

	According to THIS COMPARISON MATRIX Visual Styles are not supported in LT.
