Merging sheets

Merging sheets

Merging sheets

(OP)
Hi,
i have a question maybe you can help me.
I have a part file with the folowing structure:
iso.piping_sh
             -iso.piping
                        -iso.piping1
                        -iso.piping2
                        -iso.piping3
                         etc
i used the automatic drawing button and i got 100 sheets.i made a copy of the folder and i added to the drawings what was needed( dimensions tags etc) with a collegue(me half and him half).Now i have one iso.piping_sh with sheets 1-50 done and another with 51-100 done.My question is:
is there any way to combine all the sheets in one iso.piping_sh?
I appologize for my bad english, hope i made myself understood.
Thankyou in advance.

             
       

RE: Merging sheets

So what you want to do is combine many drawing sheets into one sheet?
Is this all two-dimensional geometry?

RE: Merging sheets

(OP)
Yes that is what i want.To combine all the sheets in one.
I don't understand the second question.Is what two dimensional geometry?
The pipes are designed in modeling(3d) and when i used the automatic drawing button a got a sheet with: a bill of materials(pipe, flange,gasket,elbow), an isometric view and a top/front/right (whichever i needed to dimension the pipe)view, for each pipe.
The views are 2d.

Anyone....?

RE: Merging sheets

Are you saying that you have a single Part file with multiple Drawing SHEETS, or multiple Part files, which with its OWN Drawing sheet?  If all the Drawing sheets are in a single Part file, then you should be able to move the views from one sheet to another, so technically you could move all the views on to a single Drawing sheet, which might become a bit crowded, but you could always edit it and use a larger sheet size.

As i said in my first post, i have a parent part with multiple component parts and a sheet for each component.I think you are not familiar with the automatic drawing function.So my question still stands.Is there a way to combine the sheets? And please before answering read my first post thoroughly.
