I've created a tie-on-cable marker tag using Loft, Replace Face and Split techniques. After spltting, I turn off the visibility of one of the two resulting solid bodies. File A208P03_Label.jpg shows the results with solid body Solid2 visibility either on or off. The cable marker tag is then used in an assembly file shown in MI-CA-0261.iam.jpg and a drawing file shown in MI-CA-0261.idw.jpg. The problem I have is that Solid2 is showing up in the idw drawing file when I'd rather it's visibility be off as in the .iam assembly file. Anyone have a solution?

Solution found. Thanks to contributor Joe Bartels's 01-24-2012 post I used the Make Part tool on the Solid Body and used the resulting part in the assembly. (Ref: 01-24-2012 06:18 AM in reply to: Mroach1212 (Re: Inventor Question - Multiple Parts))
When...or if...you are using Inventor 2013 you can do this now with Part Design Views to control Solid Body visibility in the drawing environment.
