When I try to create a section view in a drawing of an assembly, things show up in the section view that were hidden in the model of the assembly. The individual models look fine. The sub-assemblies look fine. The complete assembly looks fine. The section view looks like crap! Help!
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

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.
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

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?
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.
