Section view in drawing not rendering properly

So I am trying to complete a drawing for a part, and the section view is not sectioning the full part. there is a through hole on top and in the attached drawing you can see the left side has the countersink and thru hole, where the right side only displays the countersink. also there is a large pocket on the bottom that isn't showing because its showing the front of the part as evidenced by the small angled cut on the front. Perplexingly the one of the elements I care about for this section is the threaded hole on the right that is displaying both the threaded portion and the count bore and thru hole properly.

 

I came from SolidWorks, and this drawing package feels like MS Paint in comparison, and I am told that Inventor has a better and more comparable drawing package. If Autodesk is truly pushing Fusion as the next thing and a one stop shop, it needs to have an adequate drawing package.

Before you go throwing rocks at Fusion 360, you need to question your modeling practices.  You have a number of missing reference geometry warnings in your timeline indicating that the sketch, which the feature was created from has been erased, and the model is using cached sketches to "try" and create the feature.

With a little bit of work, to correct your poor modeling practices, the drawing section displays correctly.  The hatch areas are still in need of some work to display properly in the section view.

Well speaking of throwing rocks, this is not my design, I will pass this along to the designer. But when the model can be sectioned and display properly I would assume the drawing package should be able to do the same. I also am already near a breaking point with the drawing package over lacking features, such as chamfer dimensions, I feel like I am fighting the program to display what I need, and yes some of this is me getting to know how to use this more properly, but its discouraging to find a feature I need discussed here in the forums two to three years ago, and have someone from Autodesk comment that it is coming soon, yet it still is not here. I have been impressed so far with the modeling, simulation and CAM sides of fusion, but the drawing package is not acceptable to me for a professional environment.
