NX7.5, new models arent showing in drafting mode

NX7.5, new models arent showing in drafting mode

NX7.5, new models arent showing in drafting mode

(OP)
So I'm doing a study for a customer. I'm trying to overlay two similar parts/assemblies ontop of one another to see what kind of differences exist between them.

I assembled them on top of one another and switched to the drafting mode to check the cross section's I'd setup but the 'new' model isn't showing up in the previously made views. I've checked the layer settings, visable in view options and reference sets and nothing appears to be wrong.

If I drop new views and xsections from scratch, it will display both parts just fine. It's only when I'm trying to update existing views for the new components where I'm running into issues.

Any idea what going on here? This was something I did often in NX5 and below.

Also, I've figured out how to change it, so it's not a huge deal, but can someone explain to my why in the world NX7.5 defaults to NOT laying down a section view when you add one? I've figured out how to turn it on, and I can understand why you'd want the option not to in some rare cases, but why would the developers make that the default? I can't understand the logic in that.

Exactly what option are you talking about?

RE: NX7.5, new models arent showing in drafting mode

Problem 1. Is the view on the drawing sheet from the drawing part file or from the model part file?
Problem 2. Are you using NX7.5.3 or lower? Help -> About NX -> System Information will tell you. There was a bug in an earlier version that is fixed in the NX7.5.4 & NX7.5.5 Maintenance Releases.
