Can you do a "New From" for Drafting
(OP)
I created a base design with all the Drawings for this base design. When I do a new from and select the Base design how do I bring along all the Drawings?

In short this would give you an assembly/part template with the same behavior as a file new from with drawings tied to it.
There may be other ways but I can't of one right now, so please chip in, I'm interested if there are other ways without the PKT workbench.

My next questions are:
How do I use the template, do I now do "New From" the product with the attached drawings?
When I click the icon, linked from the catalog nothing happens. Do you have any ideas what I am doing wrong?
RE: Can you do a "New From" for Drafting
You can double check in the catalog file in the reference that that the type is Feature and not Document
RE: Can you do a "New From" for Drafting
I usually detail parts more than assemblies. So I have a drawing template with all my settings and title block items. I then goto file>New From and pick that template.

RE: Can you do a "New From" for Drafting
Is there a way to update all the prints without going into each and every print and manually updating?
Also, I have a script that adds the items items from the 3d model into the title block. Is there a way to automate those two items?

RE: Can you do a "New From" for Drafting
Were you able to find a way to have every sheet in the external drawing documents update automatically once they were instantiated?
I am currently facing the same problem and have so far only been able to have 2 of the 4 drawing sheets update automatically.
I am not sure where to put a reaction that will guarantee that the views will be up-to-date. It seems every script i use tries to update the drawing before it is actually there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind regards,

As Azrael said there is a tool called "updatebatch" it works great. I do not know why this is not automaticly done anyways...

"Some Parts (....) have bad context. The instantiation of this template may not work correctly."
What does this mean? Can I ignore it?
