Thanks!<br />
I used the configuration method and it worked great.

I am creating a set of drawings that describes the welding and machining process of an assembly. &nbsp;The parts all get welded together and then there are some holes that get machined after all the welding is done. &nbsp;How do I hide these holes so they are not visible in the drawing views describing welding. &nbsp;Do I have to use the &quot;Hide Edge&quot; option that is available after right clicking? &nbsp;Why can't I go into the design tree on the left, right click on the feature that I want to hide and click &quot;Hide Feature&quot;? &nbsp;<br />

PS. &nbsp;I am using SolidWorks 2005<br />

SolidWorks: Hiding Features of Assembly in Drawing

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations. CAD software for mechanical design uses either vector-based graphics to depict the objects of traditional drafting, or may also produce raster graphics showing the overall appearance of designed objects. As in the manual drafting of technical and engineering drawings, the output of CAD must convey information, such as materials, processes, dimensions, and tolerances, according to application-specific conventions.
