For some reason the holes I added to my assembly (hole 2) are not showing up in my IDW tree and therefore not showing up in the drawing. Does anyone know what causes the hole feature to not show up from an IAM file?
Are the holes visible in the drawing view?

In my testing the assembly hole feature is not displayed in the drawing browser. Only features applied in the part file will show up in the browser tree of that part. There seems to be an update issue if it is not showing up in the assembly view where the hole was applied. The images do not provide any information helpful to trouble shoot this further.
Are you using the correct Model State with Inventor 2022?

Any chance of sharing a Pack and Go of the assembly for us to take a look at?

Assembly features (such as holes) will not show in the model tree of a drawing view.
You can verify if your holes were made invisible by someone right-clicking them in the view and picking "Visibility" OFF, by right-clicking the view and picking "Make View Raster" (to toggle it back, simply "undo" or right-click "Make View Precise" back again). If your holes then show up in Raster, I would suggest deleting the whole view and re-inserting it in.

Hi Glenn,
Yes, it is true that the assembly features have never been made available in the drawing browser. The function of such feature in a drawing is quite limited. You can select the feature so that the associated view edges are selected. Then you can change the color or linetype or lineweight. There isn't much more you can do with it.
Many thanks!
