Hello, is it possible to set the same view of standard part e.g. bolt (like in the library - see picture) for all drawing views? Thanks!
 
Are you looking to create similar drawings of all your standard parts or just make one drawing look like the picture?

Hello!
Yes I am looking to create similar drawings of all standard parts. I have a drawing from assembly with 3 views, I have bolts from picture. I would like to set (if it is possible) the look of bolt from picture to all drawing views...
 
Once you have one drawing done there are 2 ways to create the others.
Correct way is to use revision manager.
Open the drawing in rev manager, the right mouse button (RMB) on the drawing and click Copy.
Change the name of the drawing to whatever you want it to be. Then apply the action.
Now RMB the part and Replace and Browse to select the new bolt part file.
Apply the action.
You now have a new drawing linked to the new bolt model.

The other way is to open the drawing in Solid Edge then Save As to the new name.
Now you need to use Edit Links to change the model that the drawing is looking at.
I can't remember where it is on ST but up to V20 it's
Edit > Links.
When you have changed the link update the views.
