Possible to copy drawing tabs / sheets within a drw?
(OP)
I know this' been asked before, but is there a quicker way of producing loads of similar drawings than creating new sheets, and copying the views over?
There are lots of views and notes in each one y'see, and it'd be bliss to be able to 'copy tab' and then just make a couple of small changes....
Thanks for any help

Predefined views are interesting, but I'm looking for a shortcut way to copy all drawing views, notes, dimensions, annotations, detail views, tables, etc.... over.
Not going to find it am I?

If the same file, macro as CBL suggested. Start macro, select everything on dwg AND ctrl-select each view, copy.
If new dwg file, save-as.

(AutoCAD copies sheets that way also
Not only can you copy a sheet exactly, but you get a choice of where to place the copied sheet. As was mentioned earlier, you can copy and paste drawings and notes, or drag them from the tree, but you will have to "tidy up" the placement of your notes and details, and the BOM's do not transfer to the new sheet.
Maybe this should be an enhancement request.
