Removing Hidden Lines in a Drawing View

I am trying to take the visibility of some unneeded hidden lines off of an assembled view on my drawing sheet. Yet i am only taking the visibility of the hidden lines off on one of the parts in the assembly and there are A LOT of them. I know how to select the lines, right click, and turn the visibility of them off that way but there are far to many of them and it would take me quite some time to do this. This is my reasoning for wondering if there is an easier way of doing this such as just turning the visibility of the hidden lines off on one part in an assembly. If you know anything about how to do this i would greatly appreciate the advice. Thanks.

I don't know what took me so long to look up this topic, but over 10 years since the initial question and it still proved helpful. Thank you!

To deactivate hidden lines for all parts, edit the drawing view, and under Style activate "Hidden Line Removed".

Also, if you try to remove the hidden lines using the other method from the last or the only part, it is grayed out. It forces you to remove hidden lines for the whole view.
