NX10 curves in model do not show in drawing view.

I added some curves to my model that I would like to show up in my drawing view but they do not. The drawing is based off a solid model, but I added the curves for a reference.
When I add a new view to the drawing the curves show up nicely,
but on a view that already exists on the drawing I cannot get the curves to show.
The one view that I would like the lines to show in is a bit intense and would take a long time to do over.
I am working on a large casting drawing and these curves from the machined version of the casting.
Does anybody have any suggestions for making these curves show?
I am working on NX10.

I am assuming you have the curves on a separate Layer as well. Check in the view if those layers are set to visible. (Format - layer visible in view)

On drafting switch to modelling.
And then move the curves to
Some layer and switch back to
Drafting and use visible in view
To show the curves in the desired view
 
I did use "visible in view" here, but I guess that was not the problem.

I did find a fix for this issue
I mentioned above that in any new view that I placed on the drawing will have the curves visible, but I could not get them to show up in an existing view.
So what I did is place a new view on the drawing with the curves visible.
I then went into the view settings of the existing view and inherited the view settings from the new view, and the curves appeared.
I then deleted that new view that I placed down because I no longer needed it.

That would have been my next suggestion [lol]
