Whether the DXF shadow is visible or not in the scene view is controlled via the Levels Properties window.

  1. Switch to the Project Workspace > Structure tree
  2. Select the individual Level item under the Levels branch
  3. In the Properties window ensure Shadow Visible is checked in the Properties window
