Edges in drawing showing wrong

In Inventor 2023, I made the model of some labels with the text engraved (a cut).

When I make the drawing, the text shows with dashed edges.

I tried to change to raster view or switching between hidden line/hidden line removed or uncheck the "enable background updates" I read in some posts, but nothing fixes the problem.

Does anyone have an idea of what the issue can be?

Thank you in advance.

It also appears that the box around the 4A and F14 appears hidden...Can you share the part?

These are the labels file.

Out of curiosity are the labels constrained with the cut face flush with the top of the fuse or mated as if a sticker was stuck to the face as shown?

No. I checked that first thing.

Also, one thing I noticed is even if the larger label is outside by 0.001 in meaning the label is not fully encompassed in the part, it doesn't show a partial hidden/visible, it is either all or nothing.

I would of thought we would of seen a half visible half hidden here.,

in my 2024 it appears to be working correctly based on what you have...Do you have any updates that need to be installed?

I tried to increase the thickness of the label and the depth of the cut, but nothing changes and I am out of ideas.

I am not sure where to find the last update I had.

Looks like this is the solution, change from "Edges as Reference" (standard from Inventor) to "Edges as Part" or "Edges as Part, Shaded".

It's weird because I did this few other times and never had this problem.

Are these components reference components?

Yes, I just show them to tell people what to write on the block marker.

Is that the issue?

Yes, by default referenced items will now show in the parts list, and will show up as a phantom line type. Arg, I didn't even think to ask that from the beginning. Sorry. You can go to the layers and alter the line type for referenced geometry, or do as you did and change the display.

I had no idea Inventor manages parts in different ways if they are not in the BOM. Now I do.

Thank you.
