Referencing a new part in a draft
Referencing a new part in a draft
(OP)
Ok, so I have another question for you Solid Edge pros in here. Let's say that I have a drawing that is referencing part "A", but I want to take that same drawing and reference part "B". Is there a way to do this without creating a new drawing for part "B"? This would be helpful for identical parts that are right/left handed so the drawing would be almost identical, therfore I would save the draft as the new part name but then have to tell it which model to source.
Thanks!!
Joel

Once in there you click in the list of source files (there will probably be only one anyway)then click Change Source and browse to the file you want to use.
Before ST it was just Edit > Links then the same procedure.
Alternatively there is Revision Manager.
What you need to remember is that some (or many?) of your dimensions will become detached when you update the views.

However, if you search Youtube for "revision manager video" there are quite a few demo's on there.

I usually try the quick way first, but often end up just doing a print of the original and creating the new one from scratch, with copy/paste for notes etc as you say.

I suppose coppying the over handed version may get certain parts of the title block and rev block filled out too, but there's not much in it.
