Drafting shows family of part???

Only one family member can be active in the part file at any one time, and that is the one that will be shown if you create a drawing of that part.
If you change the active member in the part file your drawing will become out of date. When you update the drawing it will now show the new active member.
In other words it doesn't matter how many views of the part you put on the drawing they will all show the same (active) member.
If you need to detail each one you will have to create the individual part files from the family of parts master file, then add views of each of those to the draft.
It doesn't work like Solid Works part configurations.

You can create a tabulated drawing from the FOP master file, which might be an option, rather than detailing each part.
It depends if a tabulated drawing would be suitable.
