Copy and Paste views and dims?
(OP)
NX 8.5
Is there a way I can copy views, annotation, dimensions etc. from a sheet in one drawing file and paste them to a sheet in another drawing file? Thank you.

1) Edit -> View -> Move/Copy View -> To Another Drawing
or
2) Click on, hold and move views in the Part Navigator from one drawing sheet to another.

But you can copy them to another drawing sheet in the same file

Do you have the 'retain annotations' option turned on? (Preferences -> drafting -> annotation)

Edit -> View -> Move/Copy View -> toggle copy vies "On" & select "to another drawing" -> select drawing in list -> OK
the dims should copy with it
RE: Copy and Paste views and dims?
This particular drawing file shows/ contains a specific model/assembly. The other drawing shows ?
If you copy the view, what should it show ?
I'm not asking this in hostile mode, just trying to understand the request.

I think you must do a combo, First go to the drawing where you have done the most work, File - export- Part - drawing selection select the sheet(s),
Part Specification = existing , select the other drawing. OK
This should copy the sheet and the views, i don't think that it will copy the dimensions.
The dimensions can be copy-pasted but you probably need to re-associate them .
The simplest way to handle cases like this, with the least amount of rework, is to finish "drawing-left". Save, close. Create a copy of the drawing.
rename to "drawing-right", then open in NX and replace the model.

is this part of a special license? maybe drafting plus?
RE: Copy and Paste views and dims?
Maybe make sure you are in the Drafting module and not in Gateway.
