Export Or Copy Detail Views

Export Or Copy Detail Views

Export Or Copy Detail Views

(OP)
Is it possible in SolidWorks 2008 to export or copy a dimensioned detail view from one part drawing to another (different) part drawing (in this case extruded aluminum profiles) when the dimensioned detail is identical on several parts?

RE: Export Or Copy Detail Views

Not directly, but you could "Save as" the drawing a jpeg and then crop and insert the detail view as an image into the new sheet.

cheers

RE: Export Or Copy Detail Views

Yes, Save As copy existing drawing...give new drawing number.
Close, then reopen, change referenced part to new part.
