Have a sheet metal panel with embossed lettering. In the assy model (.iam) everything is good.
In the assembly drawing (.idw) the lettering shows up, but the material behind the lettering becomes transparent.
All parts behind panel are visible. Please help.
Thanks

You really need to post the idw file to make it easy on us (and include the iam/ipt files too.. zip them all up into one file and post it here)..
Are you sure you haven't set the faceplate to transparent or reference? Sure sounds like it..
transparent
Reference?
Hi! The behavior does not sound right to me. Could you share an example exhibiting the behavior?
Many thanks!
Attached are the Zipped files of the Panel model, Assy Model, and Assy dwg.
Thank You for your help.
Hello together,
I only turned the flat sheet...
the iam is empty please use pack and go
Sorry Guys, bear with me I don't pack and go too often.
Attached is a Zipped folder with the pack and go info.
Thanks, hope you can help, I'm just as anxious as you are to find out why this is happening.
Hello @Anonymous I see that you are visiting as a new member to the Inventor Forum.
Welcome to the Autodesk Community!
There are bad bodies in part SEES-TOCI-001-1 resulting from the Emboss.
I went through and tested to find that the error comes specifically from the text being embossed.
It only happens when selecting the 10 AMP 125-250V AC and 120V AC text portions that result in the oddity.
I changed the font on these two areas and the problem went away.
I'll forward to the development team to inspect, but that should get you going again.

@Anonymous, As @kelly.young said, the root cause was the emboss command generate ghost geometries.
The problem was identified and Engineering team is investigating it.
Thanks!
Yes Kelly I'm new to the forum, thanks for welcoming me.
Thank you for your help. Changed fonts, worked great, assembly drawing is golden.
Thanks Autodesk team for your support.
I'm glad my screw up can help debug a problem.
