Drawing of "partially manufactured" part?

  1. Me again.

    I'm working on a part that will be manufactured in two steps:
    1) a fairly complicated turned base shape
    2) a complex cut-out.

    In SW the part is made in the same two steps: a rotated base shape and a
    linear cut out. Unfortunately, after the cut is made, there's hardly
    anything left, and it is difficult to visualize the turned shape. So I'd
    like to make a supplementary drawing of only the turned shape.

    The problem is that I can't suppress the linear cut in an individual
    drawing or view. Of course I can suppress it, print out the resulting
    drawing, and then go on to make the drawing of the final part.

    Which is the way I did it (including striking out the <MOD-DIAM> bits
    by hand and replacing them with a real diameter symbol, see my other
    post), but this isn't really the SW way of doing things.

    Thanks,

    Then make a config that shows only the turned shape.
