Copying a drawing sheet to another Drawing Document
Copying a drawing sheet to another Drawing Document
(OP)
Is there a semi-easy way to do this? API would be nice, but a manual description can be automated later.
Reloading the template seems straightforward enough, as does updating its custom props, but what about the drawing views ?
My employer prefers a single document to hold similar part drawings, but this new assembly Im working on will only be using some of a large number of available parts. Having unused/suppressed parts in the drawing has them appear when
the user exports to PDF/E-Edrawing, as well as the overhead of opening and rebuilding the extra, unused sheets.

1) Hold the Ctrl key down
2) Select all your views
3) Click Edit\Cut (or copy your choice)
4) Go to the other sheet
5) Pick the drawing sheet (turns the outside of the sheet to your Highlight color (Default is light green))
6) Click Edit\Paste

because... errr... well, because I needed a COMPLEX answer that requires thousands of lines of code ? <grin>
Honestly, while I was aware I could copy views between SHEETS, I wasnt aware it could be done between documents.
Thanx, Scott

There is a great macro on this site to change templates, called "Template Switch". I have to give props to The Tick for posting this site a while ago. The Macro is called template switch and is fairly easy to follow the instructions as long as you take the time to do it right.
