Hiding Features

I have recently been given the task of making some changes to a
Model/Drawing created by someone else. Because of errors in the use of

configurations by the originator (plus others after him), I have had no

choice but to delete several views and recreate them. The problem is
the same model (flat strip with holes) has been inserted in the
assembly 4 times with unwanted holes being hidden in various strips in
the drawing. Easy enough I thought, but despite obeying all the rules
to "Hide" certain features, none will adopt the hidden state. The "Hide

Edge" command does not appear when right clicking after selection of
edge, and the selecting then choosing "Hide Edge" in the Drawing
Toolbar does not work either. I have looked at the Help Topics and
followed the guidance to no avail. Complete components can be hidden
without difficulty.
Any help please!

 

It sounds like you need to fix the configurations. Set up a configuration of
the part for each different view. You will probably need a configuration of
the assembly as well. Then change the configuration of the assembly and part
shown in each view to the "correct" one.
