Exporting Views From One Drawing to Another
Exporting Views From One Drawing to Another
(OP)
Morning All,
I've searched and tried many an option, but none really work properly.
I have 2 seperate saved drawing files. so we have DWG1 and DWG2, i have views on DWG2 which i want to add a sheet to DWG1 and import those views from DWG2 to DWG1 sheet 2. So i will end up with DWG1 sheet 1 (existing views) DWG1 sheets 2 (views brought across from DWG2. I can then delete the file DWG2.
Any ideas? I've tried exporting, it works fine within one saved file, but across 2 different saved file it doesn't like it. I can get the border moving but not the views.
Any help would be great!
Cheers

I need to do this because a lad I work with has produced a shed load of drawings as seperate files instead of adding sheets to one file. I've found a way to import all views and would then need to add dimensions, just thought there might be a way. Other CAD systems allow this and keep links so just thought it might be possible. To recreate all those views on new sheets would take some time, so thought there might be a quicker way......
Looslib, might give that a try thanks!

Try this...
Add the drawing you want to import as a component to your part where you want to import it to ( create an assembly ). Then you can export the sheet in there to the parent of the assembly.
if the driving model is the same the dimensions should stay associative to the model. After exporting the sheet you can remove the drawing from your assembly again.
