Question:
I have an existing GA drawing, but bolts and studs that are behind other parts are not drawn, even if I changed the  XS_DRAW_BOLT_HIDDEN_LINES_xx advanced options.

Answer:
The reason is that the XS_DRAW_BOLT_HIDDEN_LINES_xx advanced options were not set to TRUE when you created the GA drawing. The hidden line settings of bolts cannot be changed afterwards, so the value is read only when creating the drawing or view. So you should re-create the GA drawing to make the bolt hidden lines visible.
