Multiple sheet drafting of a weldment

Multiple sheet drafting of a weldment

Multiple sheet drafting of a weldment

(OP)
I'm trying to draft a weldment by putting 2 sheets into the same draft file.

I use the first sheet for my machining drawing and the second sheet is for assembly/welding.

On the machining drawing I am using a section view to show were some material is removed as a machining allowance.

Everything works fine until I make a change to the model.  When I update the draft the section shows the assembly model, not the machining model.  Everything else looks good but the section view.  I will delete the cutting plane and recreate the section view but with the same results.

I found that if I only create one sheet, without using the second sheet for the assembly, that I don't have this problem.  I'm fine with this solution but it means creating two seperate draft files.

Also, I already tried switching the sheets by making sheet 1 my assembly and sheet 2 my machining but the results were the same.

Is there some way to stop this re-sectioning from happenening or is there nothing I can do about it?
