Hi group.
Seems like I'm overlooking something here,but how do I get 2 or more separate part models on to one drafting sheet.Every time I go to draft,it creates a drawing sheet just for that particular model.If i create a separate sheet,it reverts back to the model that is open.

if what you have is an assembly, move each individual part of the assembly onto it's own layer.

then, for the first part, on layer 1, save a view 'part1' with only layer 1 visible, 'part2' with only layer 2 visible. do the same for all the other parts.

then, on the drawing, add view 'part1' and detail it, 'part2,' detail it, etc. naturally, if you want to see the whole assembly, have all layers turned on in the view you're going to present on the drawing. ug calls this 'layer discrimination.'

hope this helps!
 
FYI:
The layer visibility can be tuned in each view using: Format-visible in view...
