Display state not working for drawing

[BluTurtle]

SW 2010 SP 2.1 on XP 64

Have a part with few bodies (Box, Lid & Screws). Created 3 Display States Lid, Housing and assembled. When creating drawing, I have trouble using these display states.
In a drawing, I create 2 sets of front, top & side views. One set for Box & another for Lid. I dont want to use CFGs here.
I am unable to apply these display states. It behaves weird. When I check the properties, I notice that the DS is active, but graphically not?

Does any one see this issue.

Apparently, I learnt that this is a bug in SWx.

Reported to VAR, SPR # 502276

@BT,

Thanks for posting the follow up about SPR #:502276. I actually ran into this exact problem yesterday when working with a ~200 body weldment.

VAR told me to use "Relative to Model" views instead. But it's also good to know that this is a bug and not just a fluke occurrence.

My work around was to use savebodies (right click solids folder). then create a drawing using those parts.

Does anyone know if this has been fixed in 2010 sp4.0

I don't think this will be fixed until SW2011.

So I have been having trouble creating views that use to automatically appear by dragging the curser to the right,left,top or bottom.
