    Hi to all,
    I have a part with two extrusions that create 2 bodies.
    I put the part in the drawing.
    RMB on extrude 2 in the tree functions view and hide the body.
    If it had been an other user to hide the body, like I would have made to
    know it if in the property view it is not indicated ?

    Thanks,
    Alessandro

    Are you saying it is hard to know if a body is hidden in a drawin of a
    multibody part?

    Yes,
    I work in a company where I could complete drawings made from others and
    I ask myself if it's simple to know if a body is hidden in a drawing of
    a multibody part.

    Hiding a single body, of a multi-body part, in a drawing, is, at best,
    unreliable. Even if you sucessfully hide it in a specific view, later
    rebuilds of the part or drawing can cause it to become visible again ( no
    apparent pattern ). The most reliable way that I've found is to create
    additional configurations and delete the bodies that are not required for a
    specific view. Its quick, and the deleted bodies don't magically reappear
    at a later time.
