Here comes my favorite super specific SolidWorks behavior so far:

1. open assembly lightweight
2. convert to drawing with at least one pre-defined view
3. Click on one view
4. under Display Style there is a radio button option: Draft quality or Hight quality
5. after changing to High quality this button disappears

   

Things you cannot see, while model is in the Draft quality Display Style:

• line styles of model edges won't show up (thickness, color etc.)
• after changing it to the High quality Display style they show up

Now here comes the best part:

• If you load the model resolved, the pre-defined views are automatically set to the High quality Display style
• if you manually insert a model view of the lightweight model, the view is automatically set to the High quality Display style
