Any Tips for when Parts Fall Out of Drawings
(OP)
I don't do a whole lot of 2D (we do mostly RDDs and FT&A), but I'm having to put together a top-level 2D layout of a design.
For some reason, the Drawing Package isn't drawing every component. Is there a way to force load everything?

If I had to guess I would say it was how your view was created. In the process of defining a view you have the option to rotate and flip a view. Sounds like you needed to flip the view.

Think of a product with three components: two parallel plates spaced apart and a bolt connecting them. In an edge-on view, I should see the bolt, but I don't... unless I turn on hidden lines. And when I do turn on hidden lines, the parts of the bolt that I want to see come in solid (as they should) since they aren't really hidden geometry.
It's as if the drawing package completely ignores the part until I turn on hidden lines.

I did and that indeed made it show up (I'm confused, though. I thought it only culled that which can't be seen from the view orientation), but it drew it wrong, unfortunately.
The only tabs I have (even after hitting More) are: Graphic, Mechanical, Mass, Product and Standards.

The part needs to be in a product and you need to right click on the product level of the part to get to the drafting tab.
example:
Product1
Part1 (Right click here and go to properties)
Part1
XYPlane
YZPlane
XZPlane

Is your entire product made of V5 parts? V5R13 and earlier will not Project V4 Dittos in a Drawing View.

I'll check that drafting tab again when I get a chance. I was probably at the part level. Thanks.

My guess is if applying the Hidden Lines generated the correct view then forcing an update may do the same thing.

Also, try using the Overload Properties for that component and set just that component to HLR.
Another thought, try resetting your Overload Properties - your parts might have them set accidentally.
