Section View Problems

No surfaces. What is showing up is parts that I used to make sketches off of to produce geometry on other parts, and then hid in that part file.

If You have surfaces in some parts that are nott hidden in the assy they will show up in the section view

Hmm....no more bells ringing here.....have You tried to hide them in the drawing....find them in the tree for the specific view, right klick and take show/hide... hide component

Or are You using several configs and have a config with not hidden part in that view ?

Yes, I've tried this, but when I right click it only gives me the option to hide the body that it was hidden within, so then it hides more than I want it to hide.

Nope, already checked that out. This is soooooo fun!

Wasn't there a problem with SP1 and section views?

I'm not sure I really follow You here.....exactly what is showing up in the section view, and no supposed to be there ....whole parts or just sketches in parts

You "should" be able to step back to SP1 or SP0 and back to SP2 with no problems.

But, then, you are dealing with consistently inconsistent software, SolidWorks.

And You're sure You didn't use any offset surfaces to cut with or extend to ...which now are not hidden

Would "hidden line removed" selected under System Options, Drawings, Display Style solve your problem?

I created part (a), inserted part (a) into an assembly, then created another part (b) incontext to edges of part (a), hide part (a) in assembly, created an assembly drawing, created a section through assembly. I don't see any lines related to part (a) in the section view. Or am I not understanding the problem correctly?

Kman

OK, I've got this figured out. I'm obviously a newby making newby mistakes. The method that Kman described in his first post is the way that it SHOULD be done. The way that I did it was to insert a part into a PART (not an ASSEMBLY). Create the new part from edges of the first part. Hide the first part. Both methods LOOK the same in a model, but when you go to create a section view in a drawing, that's when the difference becomes obvious. Solidworks still sees the hidden part in a part, and shows it in the section. So, the moral of this story is: don't insert a part into a part to make a completely different part. Insert it into an assembly, and make the new part in context.

Thanks to all who responded, and sorry for wasting your time on a dumb mistake.
