changing model references in a drawing to create a new version...
(OP)
Hi, I will try and keep this short but informative.
I am from a SolidWorks background and am just starting to use inventor 2008.
With solidworks it is possible to open an existing drawing with all its notes and added information appropriate to the project you are working on and perform a save as operation then you can open the saved drawing and point the model references to different models enabling you to create complex drawing or rather a series of similar complex drawings fairly quickly.
Does this make any sense to anyone?
Can you do a similar thing in Inventor 2008?
Any help will be fondly recieved. Thank You.

This got me at least all my drawing views and settings, but none of the dimensions came through. Still a bit better than nothing. Otherwise I've been using Design Assistant to clean up the rest of the links...
