Possible to Copy Tabs in DRW file?
Possible to Copy Tabs in DRW file?
(OP)
SWX 2005 SP4.0
I have a drw file which contains an assembly tab and about 20 detail tabs. I have some tabs/sheets which have two details on them. The customer now informs me that we can only have one detail per sheet. Is there a way I can copy a tab, with the two details all dimensioned, so I can then erase one detail on each sheet so there is then only one detail per sheet?
Thanks

FYI, there is nothing illegal with having more than one detail per sheet.

RE: Possible to Copy Tabs in DRW file?
I like having more than one detail per sheet, but the customer also just gave me their standard detail block. It has variables within in it that are filled out by the custom props in the detail. So when I add this detail block to each detail, on a two detail sheet, both blocks end up taking the custom props from the same detail.

Thats makes sense using custom props.
Good luck.

I think multiple details per sheet is against ANSI standard. Although it is doable, it is not the way SW is supposed to be used.

You may not be able to do this if this is their standard, but you might pass this info on to them, especially if this is the only reason they are splitting it up.
