Hiding solids in drawing views
(OP)
I'm working on a machining drawing for a component that has a lot of linked bodies and faces in it in NX-8. When I create a base view, it has all the reference bodies and such in it, and I can't figure out how to remove them. I tried "View Dependent Edit," but it wouldn't allow me to select a solid body to erase, even with the selection filter set to solid bodies only.
I've seen people ask similar questions, and the solution recommended was to change reference sets or hide layers. I don't have the option to change reference sets on my drawing (or if I do, I can't seem to find it) and even though hiding layers in the modeling view produces the solid I want, when hiding layers in the drafting view doesn't seem to hide anything at all.
Any help is appreciated, thanks!

If the drawing is in the same file as the model, reference sets will do you no good; you will have to use "layer visible in view" or view dependent edits.
The preferred method is to use separate files for model and drawing. Then in the model file you can specify what is in the reference set, and in the drawing file you can specify which reference set to use.

I solved my first problem, but understanding this method might help me solve a new problem. Thanks!
