SE Top Assembly draft

SE Top Assembly draft

SE Top Assembly draft

(OP)
I have a draft of a top assembly but I accidently deleted the assembly and all my info in my title block dissapeared.
How do I get all that info to re populate in the title block?
 

RE: SE Top Assembly draft

Your draft file appears to read properties from the assembly so restore the assembly file to where it was originally.

RE: SE Top Assembly draft

(OP)
ok maybe I should clarify what it is that I need.

I have an assembly such as a rear bumper assembly
I bring that into my draft. but I also have a top assembly
to show where that rear bumper assy goes (it too has a copy of the rear bumper assembly in it). So I inserted that
assembly into the draft. Now the rear bumper populates the title
block because it is the first assy put into the draft.
But what has happened the rear bumper has been deleted along whith all of the file properties and what is left is the top assembly with no file properties. How do I make the rear bumper the first one again with out rebuilding the draft?

RE: SE Top Assembly draft

I think one way to solve would be to go into your background, and modify the call outs to be looking at the assy you want to populate it.  A number of ways to do it, if you see 'R1' on the end of the call out you could just index it to R2, R3 etc until it gets what you want.

There are a bunch of other ways to call up file properties too.

However, I'm not quite sure what you're doing, it seems a bit odd.

RE: SE Top Assembly draft

Have you tried copying and pating all the views and dimensions into a new draft file?
