Insert Body Part or Feature of Part into drawing
(OP)
I am trying to figure out the correct method of getting a body part of the part file into a drawings without having the entire part inserted. I've only managed to hide the un-needed parts but I wonder if theres a better method for this.

Example:
You start a sketch and make a feature
The parent is the "Sketch" and the child is the "Feature"
Because the sketch was there before the feature.
Think of it like you parents - You would be here if it wasn't for them - Something in SW - A feature can't exist without a sketch. - One feature maybe dependent on another. So you can check parent/child relationships by RMB the feature and select "Parent/Child"

In this case - you can INSERT FEATURES DELETE-BODY.
This is "supressable" with configurations.
If you're not using a muiti-body part - you'll have to roll-back & re-define your features so make it so. I always use multi-body parts whenever I can... just in case.
Hope this helps...
