EXPORT VIEW - NX7.5

(OP)
Hi,
How could I export a view from a drawing and then, import it in another one?

Thanks

RE: EXPORT VIEW - NX7.5

Edit, view, there is an option Move/Copy views.... is this what you're looking for?

Best regards,

Hi Michaël,

No, I need to import a view from another drawing.............

RE: EXPORT VIEW - NX7.5

A view is just that, a 'view' of your model/assembly as displayed on a Drawing. Are you suggesting that you want to see a 'view' of a DIFFERENT model/assembly on the face of a Drawing of a another model/assembly?

While this is not actually COPYING a view, select your Drawing, press MB3 and select the 'Add Base View' option. When the dialog comes up, expand the first section at the top labeled 'Part' and if the OTHER part file (of the model/assembly that you wish to add a view of to your drawing) is not already open in your current session (if it is, you will see it listed in the list of file labeled 'Loaded Parts') then select the file 'folder' icon at the bottom right corner of this section of the dialog labeled 'Open' and browse to where the part file (of the model/assembly that you wish to add a view of to your drawing) is located and select it. Now you can select the particular 'Model View' that you wish to display on your current Drawing and then place it like any other view. Once this view is placed you can perform whatever Drawing view edit/manipulation that you wish, just like it were a view of the actual model/assembly that you're making a Drawing of.

RE: EXPORT VIEW - NX7.5

Do you want the view to be associative or non-associative to the model?

Have you tried to copy-paste the view?

Are you working with Teamcenter or other PDM/PLM?

Thanks you all for your replies.
I am sending a sample built for this particular case.
I'd like to bring in the PIPE_ASSEMBLY_dwg1.prt the three views that had been placed in PIPE_ASSEMBLY (the 2D drawing environment).
I could bring all the default views (TOP, RIGHT, LEFT, etc); but I can't bring the other (SECTION E-E, ORTHO@5).
How could I do that?

Thanks

RE: EXPORT VIEW - NX7.5

If all you need these 'views' for is reference and there will never be any attempt to edit them or the model they were created from, than jerry's suggestion is as good as anything. Take 'snapshot' of the 'artwork' and add it as an 'image' to your drawing.

Thanks Mr. Baker!
Should I understand than we can't bring section/ortho views from a drawing file to another drawing file, other than taking a snap shot?
How about the entire drawing sheet (with all included views)?........
Could a drawing sheet that has views be copied/exported?

Regards,

MZ7DYJ

RE: EXPORT VIEW - NX7.5

File -> Export -> Part
Choose new or existing part, press the "Drawing Selection" button and select the sheet(s) you want to export.

This works in native NX, I imagine it is also available in Teamcenter, though it may depend on your particular setup.
