I'm designing a heat sink that has 28 fins. I'm not sure where the best place is to express that in the detail. Should I put "(X28)" next to the .220 callout? Should I just point at it with a leader and annotate "X28"?

You need to add parent view first in the drawing and then can add the section vie OR create a broken out section in drawing OR create a config using cut extrude in assembly to resemble the sectional view SolidworksDrawings And Detailing

When I put view from 3D into sheet, i vave visible sketchesfrom 3D too. Of course I can select each sketch by right mouse button and selectHide, or unselect View-->Sketches, but first method islaborious, second cause no bend lines... Also, I can hide sketches in assembly/part, but there are visible,because are necessary. Is any other way?
