Drawing template - multi-sheets + predefined views

Hi everyone!

I have a little question for the connoisseurs because I can't find the solution :nerd_face:
I'm currently trying to create a document template for sheet metal drawings but I can't seem to do what I want...
My model has 2 sheets, the first with an isometric view of the part and the second with a flat view in unfolded state of my part.

My problem is that when I open my document template the part is displayed in the 1st sheet but not in the second... I have the impression that when opening SW inserts the views related to the model only on the active sheet and not on all the sheets!
Does anyone have a solution/technique to fix this?

Thank you in advance for your help :slight_smile:

Impossible to make a predefined view for a flat-pattern (unfolded state) except via macro
I think that's why.

And that's exactly what you can with SolidWorks 2022! Predefined Views - 2022 - What's New in SOLIDWORKS
We just updated to SW 2022 and I found this function interesting but impossible to make it work with my double sheet story ...

After 15 years of claiming this option, if you claim the predefined MEP on 2 sheets, your wish should be granted within about :smiley:15 years.
Otherwise sorry I'm in 2020 so it's not possible for me to help you more.

I do my unfolded view on 1st sheet + the 3 views and ISO view hard a 2nd sheet via macro

See you in 15 years so ahahaha :smiling_face_with_tear:

All right! I may have to do the same as you if I don't manage otherwise... Do you launch the macro manually or did you find a possibility to launch the macro automatically when you created your drawing?

The launches the macro by selecting the part in an assembly or by launching from the part. Then he does the MEP in my car
