Summary: sectioning bugs and work feature visibiilty issues
Description: New to 2012 is section views of parts but there are bugs. If you go from a solid to a surface by deleting a face for instance the sectioning control is unavailable, so you can get locked into a section view.
If you have sectioned a part then when you try to close the part it says it can't save the view in master view, even if you're not sectioned anymore. Returning to master view in an assembly prevents this happening in assemblies so the same should apply for parts.
There are part/assy discrepancies in behaviour also for work features. If you hide work features in a part in master view then these are hidden in assemblies in which the parts appear with no part design rep selected. If you try the same with assemblies and sub-assemblies then you need a design rep in the sub-assembly to switch off the work features. If you use master view then they will still appear in the assembly.
