surface visability in an idw

did something change in 2013 as far as the way surfaces are displayed in an idw? the surfaces always always had to be "included" in a idw view. now they come in as regular geometry.

I apologize for all the weird construction features of this part it has gone through many configuration changes to get to this shape.

yeah i am detailing a machine right now and I have used surfaces for things like rolls in vee blocks for dimensioning purposes. I use to have to "include" them in a view and they came in with properties llike if you included a datum. now i have to go through every view and take them out.

I only saw the post where you asked me to upload the idw and part.

Hi Scott,
In 2013, we introduced design views in parts. Surface visiibility in drawings is now controlled by part design views. We apologize, its definitely a change in behavior.
Here's how you can do it.
1. Open your part file
2. Expand the view representation in the browser
3. Create a new view rep (give it some name: say "AllSurfaces")
4. Click on Surface Bodies folder and turn them off
5. Switch to drawings
6. Edit the view and select the viewrep (AllSurfacesOff)
The view should update and all surfaces should become invisible.
The behavior is just like assembly design views to control visibility of components.
Hope that works out.
Thanks
