UG NX I need to know how to switch out a drawing sheet in a existing drawing, not add a sheet 2 etc.

(OP)
I have a drawing created with views and sections and I have decided that I want to change the drawing sheet to a different size.

I know how to do this easly using Pro-Engineer but I do not know how to do this using NX. I can add a sheet or a new sheet which creates a sheet 2 , 3 etc. I want to swap out the existing sheet being used and keep the views and sections in the drawing.

While in 2D environment: Go to Part Navigator, select Drawing Sheet, select Edit sheet, and choose the size you want.
That's all!

The only problem you will run into is if the sheet you are using is larger than the size that you would like to change it to because everything might not fit onto the small sheet. If this is the case scale everything and move it into the bottom left corner, then switch the sheet size. You can then re-scale your views and place them where you want.

Also you will probably need to change your drawing title block when you go to and from different sheet sizes. This could be set up many different ways depending on your drawing templates.
