Hello,

I have a part and its drawing. I need to make an assembly by using this part and as well as its drawing as new drawing file for my new assembly. Is it possible? Creating a copy of a part drawing as a drawing of an assembly which the original part belongs to. Please ask if it is too vague and I will try my best to clarify it.

Thanks.

Thank you Catalina for your quick reply. Let me clarify it by using screenshots. Let's say I have a part:

And I have a drawing of it:

I need to create an assembly file by using that file:

But also I would like to copy the drawing of the part to the drawing of assembly. With its notes and its views. Since the part is in that assembly I can use drawing of the part in the drawing of the assembly.

Is it possible?

So, maybe my understanding of your requirement is incorrect. 

You want to keep the orginal part drawing as it is.

You want to make a new assembly  using that part, but utilize the drawing of the part to be able to skip the time it takes to create the views. in the assembly drawing.

I don't think you can directly do that. 

@tbraxton suggestion of creating and using a drawing template is the closest you can get I think.

 

You can copy and paste drawing notes and other non-model details from one drawing to another to save the time of creation of specific notes.
