Section View in Drawing

[DPeyton]

Solidworks Premium 2010, SP3.1

I have around 30 configurations for my assembly which is about 200 MB. I am putting together assembly views for a manual and have around 10 Section Views I would like to import into my drawings....for the shop. Is there any way to import a section view configuration into a drawing?

In the assembly make your section view and save it. Be sure to check "Drawing Annotation View", and you should see the view in the View Pallet for your drawing.

I had a similar situation a while back and I don't remember how I solved it. I think I created section views off the page and simply dragged them back onto the page when I got what I wanted... really complicated.

This is a good tip! Thanks!
