Combine 2 seperate .prt files into the one drawing.

Combine 2 seperate .prt files into the one drawing.

Combine 2 seperate .prt files into the one drawing.

(OP)
I currently have 2 seperate .prt files that each contain a drawing that I wish to combine into one file so that I have a single .prt file that contains my 2 drawings. I am currently tring to do this under the drafting module within UG v18.

Any help would be much appreciated.

RE: Combine 2 seperate .prt files into the one drawing.

It's hard to know what you are asking.

Do your 2 drawings have solid model views imported, or just
view dependant 2D?

If you are drafting a model, you can merge notes, title block etc, but you will have to redo your views and dimensioning...as far as I know anyway

If it's all 2d, just create another drawing, and merge it all in.

Assemblies won't take the drawing data from the components.

RE: Combine 2 seperate .prt files into the one drawing.

Sorry it took me a while to respon but I have an answer to your post. I had come accross this option before but thought it was done with Save as.

Open the part that has the drawing you want to add to your second part drawing.
Rename the drawing sheet.
Export the part using Export -> Existing Part.
choose the Drawing Selection button and pick your renamed sheet.

When you hit okay you will see the following prompt.
Do you want to add the current part as a component of the new part.
This will preserve drawing associativity to geometry in this part.
