I originally had a part that contained some solid bodies that I did not want to be displayed in a certain drawing view. After changing the part I no longer have any bodies that I wish to exclude from this drawing view. However, since I have used the "Select Bodies" tool under the "Reference Configuration" section of the property manager previously, the drawing view will only show bodies that have been slected using this tool. Consequently, if I update the part by adding new bodies, they will not be shown in the drawing view unless I go back into "Select bodies" and select the newly added bodies. I wish there were a way to tell the drawing view to go back to showing all bodies as it behaves by default whenever you create a new drawing view.

I know the simple fix here is just to delete the drawing view and create a new view from scratch which will behave as it does by default, but I have reference views and a lot of dimensions attached that I don't want to lose and have to redo. If anyone knows a solution, please let me know, otherwise this might be an opportunity to improve the software in future releases.
