      How do i get both the Surfaces and solids to show on my drawings. WHen I have a solid in my model the surfaces won't show on my drawing. if I surpress the solids they show. Is there an tool option that will correct this or some other way to make this work?

          you have to import surfaces into the view...
          using insert... model items and then pick surface(s).

          In 2008, it appears that surfaces automatically show in the drawings. I would advocate in 2008 using display states to hide or show surfaces in assemblies and use configurations to hide/show surfaces in part files. In your drawing view in 2008, you can reference the appropriate display state.
