Hi all
I wanted to know if anyone knows of a solution to import a drawing view into another drawing in SolidWorks?
Thank you
Hello
If you want to put several views of different components in one, a single drawing.
Simply insert a "Model View" for each different component by selecting them with "Browse".
Kind regards.

Good evening
Simply insert a new "model view" referencing another 3D.
Be careful, your cartridge will fill up with the 3D information of the first view taken.

Hello
From the right pane where you insert the views, you have access to all the open rooms from the menu at the very top.
If the view already exists on a drawing, I believe it is possible to copy and paste either by selecting the view in the plan or from the left tree in the drawing, then by doing CTRL C, then CTRL V in the destination drawing.

Edit: sorry duplicate answer
Same as the camamrades who have already answered. This technique also allows you to insert a bill of materials, or other table of a component that is not part of the basic drawing.
We insert the view of the additional model, then we retrieve the desired elements. Finally, the view is hidden if it is not necessary.
Very practical if you want to locate the parts of a sub-assembly for example. Instead of spotting the ss together, or will be able to spot the pieces of the ss together.
In fact, I would like to repeat a view with its dimensioning in several drawings of a component declined in several sizes. The part I want to repeat does not vary. The only suitable method would be copy-paste?

If it is a single component available in several sizes, it has several configurations or is it from a family of parts?
Because if there are several configurations, it's easy to create a family of parts:

We use a single plan with a table from the family of parts that vary (see attachment).

In fact, in our case, we have a different part file for each size of the component. So we also have a plan by room size.
We had started working in this way before we had mastered the families of parts.

If the design is exactly the same (same base), and so as not to have to dimension each part, you can create a drawing, dimension it, and then save it as you can use it for another part.
Before opening, you have to change the references of it (see this link: http://cati.typepad.com/.a/6a00e5510582dd8834017eea978a98970d-pi )
By opening it, you can copy and paste it into a new drawing.
