Component Pattern Visibility in .idw?

In my assembly I have turned the visibility of a component pattern off, yet I cannot seem to get the pattern to not show up on my .idw of the assembly...is there some trick to this? I tried suppressing the pattern, re-generating the files and changing the model state yet still no dice.

Thanks, Jamie

In the idw find the pattern in the browser click the plus sign next to it are the parts gray or yeelow? if gray turn the visablity on. and this is a pain because you have to do every part you can not just turn on the visability of the pattern.

I thought this was fixed in 2009!

What you have to do is go into your assembly (with whatever Design View you
consider active for that view on the IDW -and it doesn't have to be
associative) and expand the pattern so you can see the components in each
node of the pattern then shift select them all and toggle the visibility on
the components themselves off and on again.

Patterns don't (at least in previous releases) play well with Design Views.
