I believe you would be looking for Tools/Options/System Options/Display-Selection and "Part/Assembly tangent edge
display. (At least that is what it is called in 2009, and I believe in 2006 it was the same.

Sometimes when creating/editing a feature there's an option to "merge" it with the model... The bulk of the model is made from a single sketch using revolve, correct? And all the arcs are tangent to one another? Hmm. In my experience that should be enough to satisfy the feature into not showing tangent lines, should you have them turned off.
after talking to some other co-workers (not networked)
we think it might be a software glitch or the video card.
However, I've not had any other problems with the video card.
Might have to run a "repair" session
I semi-created what you had based on the known dimensions from your new picture, and clicked on..
View > Display > "Tangent Edges Removed"
... and they removed perfectly fine. It very well could be a graphical issue. I've had issues that made no sense in models before and stumped me for hours... finally I'd end up starting the model from scratch and doing everything meticulously only to have it work perfectly fine. Sometimes little things just get messed up.
If that's not the case here, then I'd point at the video card. As near as I can tell you're doing everything correctly. Sorry to not be of more assistance! good luck.
If all you want to do is "turn off" the tangent lines in the shaded model, just select the Shaded mode from the Display Style drop down in the 'heads up' toolbar.
2008 SP0 (2009 sitting on a shelf in the basement but the damn tech won't install it or bring it up so I can install it myself... or even unblock the patcher for me)
