Tired of rebuilding drawings

Having a problem with keeping drawings consistent. I will try to explain what I am doing and see if someone can shed some light on my problems...
Example. I have an assembly file with the different machines A,B and C etc. I create a drawing of this file, turn the visibility of machine C off and detail the connection of B to C etc. If I now go and edit machine C, add some bolts etc these new parts show up in the drawing even though machine C had its visiblity turned off....
Is this how it is meant to work?
I would have thought that as the bolts were in a subassembly of machine C they would automatically be invisible as well. Every time a make a change to any machines I have to go through all of my drawings and make sure that new components don't keep appearing.
Also having some 'heap' problems when trying to turn the visiblity of these new components off, but that probably deserves another message...

Any advise, suggestions, comments would be greatly appreciated.

Dave Moore.

Look into design views.  These are quick
ways to keep the visibility of groups of parts on and off...

heap problems are generally fixed by increasing
your Undo file size.
