Hi. I found bug in Autodesk Inventor 2008 with SP2. So here´s the description and plz, gimme some advice how to solve this (important senteces are wroten with caps lock):

1. I made a model.
2. I am going to do drawing.
3. I´ll set the letter, for example, A3 format.
4. I´ll insert model into this drawing.
5. I´LL SAVE THIS DRAWING.
6. But what happen ? I realize, that i am fool and i need bigger format. So i´ll MAKE A NEW LETTER. For example A2.
7. Now, i am going to take all that sketches from A3 format to A2 format and i´ll delete that empty A3 letter later, because it´s nee dless. (Bythe way, if i would keep that letter in this file, it would be problem, coz in title block, it would show me that i have 2 letters, but actually i am working on one letter. NEW LETTER = A2 LETTER.
8. So we deleted that old A3 letter and now, we are working in new one.
9. After while, we made job, set all dimensions and we are in the end.
Now there is a stumbling block.

10. We want to SAVE this drawing to *.idw. It doesn´t matter if we´ll use " Save, Save as.., Save copy as... but it will always display error.. inventor falls down and what is this question about ? I am asking you, how to delete that needless letter. Any advices ?

You never needed to create the second sheet (letter) in the first place - you could have simply RMB Edit Sheet and to change the sheet size.
 
Yeah u right, i think you solved my problem but question no. 2 is: when you choose my alternative, you should not meet friend called bug :) Inventor shoudl not fall down.
