Can a part drawing be embedded in an assembly drawing?

[Wicsteve]

We have an assembly drawing of a pipe (manifold assy) with two attached flanges. Both flanges are identical, each flange having two mounting holes with a positional tolerance callout between the two holes. On the assembly print there is also a positional tolerance callout for all four flange holes taken together. That is, both flanges together are used to position the assembly. Two questions:

1) Can a print of the flange PART be embedded in the assembly drawing? ... or is there a way to show two different models on the same drawing sheet?

2)In this case the positional tolerance to be shown between two holes of a single flange is different than that of all four holes in the assembly. Since the models and drawings are all related, if we write a composite positional tolerance in the assembly it overwrites the positional tolerance in the flange part drawing or vice versa depending upon which drawing is saved last. Is there a way to freeze the GD&T and disassociate it between the part and assemly prints?

You can do it at least two ways.
1) Create an assembly view and hide all the components but one. (View/drawing display/component display/blank) You can show the component dimensions in that view.
2) Add the component to the drawing models. (Properties/drawing models/add models) Then create a view of just this part.

You can have independent part & assembly GD&T. You have to create one in the part and one in the assembly.

dgallup, thanks for your response.

1) Creating an additional part view by adding another assembly view then hiding components that aren't wanted, does work.

2) From the drawing, selecting properties, then drawing models, and add models seems to do something (software aknowledges that a model was added to the drawing BUT nothing shows up in the drawing. We're missing something here and need help.

Finally, we're still trying to understand how to add positional tolerances to holes in an assembly model. Probably inexperience more than anythng. Anyone know of a tutorial or references that addresses this subject?

I think we've figured out the missing steps when adding a new part view to an existing drawing.
