I have a potted (molded) hall sensor p.c. board assembly in the end of a motor stator. Today I pulled that drawing up to do some changes (last time I touched this drawing was using SW2003). In my front view I had the p.c. board hidden edges shown so the people putting this thing together know how to orient the board durring mfg. (in view properties I had went to the "show hidded edges" tab and selected my board from the tree and it showed nicely. So as I said, I opened it today to do some changes in SW2004 and my p.c. board hidden lines are gone! I went into the Show Hidden Edges tab and it's there, but the fricken lines do not show up. I pulled another drawing up to test this and sure enough, this is broken. DAMN IT! I can't think of any option setting that would make this not work. This version of SW hands me my ass on a daily basis I tell you! Oh yeah, and the head height on slotted pan head screws generated by Toolbox are wrong too. Machinery's handbook says the head is to be .053 max. Toolbox makes them .065.
