(A) Detail Views
I made a change to component part chamfer and then opened associated drawing to update the dangling dimensions. Update command does not correct the view.
What I found was the angle change did not propagate to the detail view though the change was reflected in the standard view. Also, now unable to select any lines, vertices etc. in the detail view.
After trying different approaches I stumbled on the following. If I click on the detail view border and uncheck "pin position" or "full outline" the detail view updates and entities are again selectable in the detail view.
(B) Excel column limitations when pasted into SolidWorks drawing.
SolidWorks will not accept excel copy and pastes with more than 20 columns. I vaguely remember someone discussing this or a similar topic some months back.
(C) Sections in SolidWorks drawing flip flops
Partial sections change to complete sections when zooming out and moving the section view. I have found by selecting the view border and un-checking partial section and then re-checking partial section corrects the view. This doesn't seem to be consistent though it happens more than once during a drawing session.
Update command does not correct the section views.
Or one section view displays correctly with "display only surface" and another section view in same drawing will change to a "complete section" view when checking the "display only surface" box.
