    Could preview of drawing be different from actual drawing?

    I have a SW2005 sp01.1 file that shows a tolerance in "view only" or preview that changes when the file is opened to edit. How is that possible? I sent the "view only" drawing as a pdf to vendor who caught the mistake. When the drawing is opened for editing it is correct.

    Is there a template for designing helixes?

    I'm looking for a way to design springs with configs that have "free lgth", "installed", "actuated", etc, as configs. This takes quite a bit of setting up to make it work. Surely there is a template available for say, compression springs, extension springs, etc.

    Insert existing drawing as sheet 2

    I have multiple sheets in the project drawing (castings, details, assemblies, etc). I have an existing detailed drawing that I want to add as "insert sheet". I can insert a view, but not the corresponding sections, details, etc. Is there any way to do this?

    Convert from 2004 back to 2003

    One component of a large assembly was converted to SW2004 sp01. I need to get it back to 2003 sp3.1 rather than recreate from scratch. Is there any way to do this?
