Copying drawing sheet into the similar part

Copying drawing sheet into the similar part

Copying drawing sheet into the similar part

(OP)
Hello
I have some parts with similar geometry (i made them by copying one part and changing some dimensions after that). Then i made a drawing sheet for one of them with views, full description and annotations. How can i transfer this drawing sheet to another part with views' dependency changing?
When i use copy/paste command for the sheet i get the only linked one.

Is there any solytion of my problem or the only way is to make drawings before copying the part?

RE: Copying drawing sheet into the similar part

What about make a CGM of the drawing and do a import. Would work in Native. Are you using the Master Model Concept? aL Are you in TC? Also I see part family members here. I would like to see the part and how you manipulate. We could set up the expressions so someone can design on the fly and have drawing borders too from the master.

RE: Copying drawing sheet into the similar part

To Keep full associativity I would suggest changing your workflow.

Create the Original part first, then create the drawing.
After that make save-as to new copies. Then you can save the drawing simultaniously.

Thank you for your answers!
The reason of my problem is that i don't use master model (i just insert drawing template into the model file). This method is more convenient for me, but, as i understand it, changing associativity of drawing sheet is impossible.

RE: Copying drawing sheet into the similar part

You can export (file - export - part) the sheet to an existing part. The tool lets you select just the sheet of the part.
If the 3D model is derived from the original it should re-attach the dimension without oo many issues.
