Drawing Sheet ?'s

[aamoroso]

Is there a simple way to move a sheet from one drawing to another, not the just the format but the entire sheet. I created a drawing with two sheets but by the time I finished it became apparent that they should have been sheets 2 and 3 to another drawing. I can't seem to find an easy way, drag and drop a sheet would be nice right now. Any ideas?????

The only thing I can think of is copying the drawing views and information from one sheet to another. Add a sheet to your drawing file and use the same layout as your previous sheet. So now you have a blank sheet with the tilte block and border etc.. Now open the drawing you need to copy. Window select everything you want to copy to the new sheet and hit control c or the copy icon. Now switch to your blank sheet and paste. This works ok in some instances. If you have sections and details you can't copy them unless you also bring the parent view with it. I'm also not sure how this will affect your file references. There may be a better way?

Thats pretty much what I ended up doing. I had to create some special sheet formats for them because they were being used in a third party software application, but I just save the formats and then added to the other drawing and then pasted my views in one at a time. This would be a nice upgrade request, if i ever find the time.

You can also reorder and rename your sheets through the Drawing feature tree.

I'm using SW2005 and I'm trying to copy the drawing views from one drawing file to another and have tried to window-select everything and this doesn't work.

Is there a way to combine the drawing views from two separate drawing files into one common drawing file?

You should have started a new thread for this.

I believe you can cntrl-select all the views on one sheet and copy them to a sheet in the other drawing. You will have to do this to each sheet of one of the drawings to copy them all over to the primary drawing.

Yes, I probably should have started a new thread.

I thought I tried everything, except for what you suggested Shaggy. It worked. Many thanks!
