You have created an assembly defining one part as Reference.
Then, creating a drawing with the assembly views you notice that the reference part is not hidden by the other components and vice versa.
So, if you want that the non-reference body hides the reference one and vice versa, you need to do the following.
After that, the views display as expected.

Trivia for you: what are the "units" of the Margin for Reference/Hidden Line Calculation. ie: explain, why it may start out 1?
Posted by: Jon Selzer | 01/09/2013 at 09:26 AM
Why will it most times start out less than 1?
Why must you increase the margin greater than 1 to see most or all of the reference part(s)?
Posted by: Jon Selzer | 01/09/2013 at 09:32 AM
The unit of the margin is cm.
You can approximately calculate the default value with the formula below.
Margin (in cm) = 0.1 x View Scale x Bounding box assembly (smallest side) in cm
I hope it helps.
Regards.
Ale
