Solution:
Open the drawing template and edit the file's 'Reflection Environment' to use the Application Options reflection environment.
- On the Tools Ribbon select Document Settings ►Drawing tab.
- Under Reflection Environment
- Change the reflection map to use Application Options(from the saved path to an older Inventor version or unavailable location)
- Save the file.
- The drawing will now use the Application Options reflection environment for non IBL based model lighting styles.
