MACHINING NOT VISIBLE IN TOP LEVEL DRAWING

I made some assemblies with machining in them. I did this in the WELD environment so I could show the non-machined state on the drawing and the machined as well. 
Currently I'm making the top level drawing of this weld assembly and non of the machined holes are visible in this top level drawing?? What Am i doing wrong...

You may need to configure the Drawing View options:

I have not had time to set up an example as described by @g.vanbommel (as the original assembly or a dummy example was not included in the problem description) but you are showing a top level assembly.  What do you see if you place this weldment as a sub-assembly?  That is the question.

 

Oops, I had to go back and read the problem description again myself.  I might not understand the full issue.

 

@g.vanbommel 

Make sure that your weldment assembly is not in a rolled back state (you have clicked Return to get out of Machining workspace.)  In my quick test everything worked as expected.  Attach your assembly here if you still can't figure it out.

Hi! The behavior does not sound right to me. Please open the assembly and go to Manage -> Rebuild All. Do the machining features show up now? If not, please share the file in zip here. The forum experts and I can help take a further look to understand the issue better.

Many thanks!

Eventually this was the solution, stupid of me not to think of that. 
But it was very weird. In the sub-assembly all the machining was visible on drawing and 3D.
Yet in the toplevel it was only visible in 3D, and not on the drawing. But after rebuilding the top level. It also showed up on the top level drawing.
