Make hidden assemblies remain hidden

Make hidden assemblies remain hidden

When you turn off visibility of a sub-assembly in an IDW, if you add a new part to the sub-assembly these new parts appear in the drawing view. 

It is very unlikely that anyone wants this behaviour so I think that all new parts should also be hidden and obey the original state of the parent assembly. 

 

I hope i've explained this clearly enough. 

 

This is the icon I'm talking about:

As a workaround; create a view representation in the assembly, and then lock that view rep. Then in a drawing, create new views based on the locked view rep, dimension, annotate & save. Upon returning to the assembly and adding new parts to the assembly, those drawing views previously created in the drawing should still look as per the locked assembly view rep.
