Visual Styles, with feature select - hidden edges

[Wish List System]

Summary: A visual styles dialog box to choose which features to show as hidden edges.

Description: A visual styles dialog box with the option to select which features to show as hidden edges. Example, sheet metal parts with holes, cut outs and/or flanges. The option to choose which hidden lines are visual can aid in looking for alignment or interference issues. Sheet metal thickness, hidden holes/cutouts and interior bend lines of flanges are some examples of visual styles you could select and choose to view or not in an part/assembly. The ability to choose which items or features to show as hidden edges would aid in looking for alignment issues.

Would this also exclude internal hidden lines in, i.e. beams and tubes? so that a 'show hidden lines' would show features obscured by other features, but not clutter the drawing with internal walls/edges of beams etc.
So it will show hidden lines for part of a flange that is underneath a beam. but not the internals of the beam.
