Issue when trying to copy from other dwgs....

You used yto be able to copy sheets from other dwgs. I am using WF5/creo and it seems you cannot do this anymore. I want the ENTIRE sheet, models, views, dimensions, etc. When I try it using: "Edit, Copy from Other Drawing, Set Current, Done, Entire Sheet", all I end up getting is a dimension or 2, and PARTS of the format. Now, I believe the dwg I'm trying to copy from is WF4, but that should not matter.

Anyone else having this issue?

Maddening, as it's a huge time-waster. I should be able to simply copy it all.

I begin to understand the disconnect between what users say about the software and what PTC thinks they say.

It's like there are different words on PTC screeens.

It is now Insert Data from File.

I think it brings in the whole thing and you delete the parts/sheets/symbols you don't like.

Hmmmm, THAT'S interesting. I looked at a similar thread too. It worked.....kind of. Only 1/2 the dimensions showed up! It USED to actually work well in WF4, now, well.....it IS creo........ I guess I should not be surprised at yet MORE buggy behavior.

I'm just going to re-create the sheet then, I'm already 1/2 way there. Thanks though!

Frank,

"Copy from other drawings" is to copy the table, notes from one drawing to another drawing (used to work in the same way in earlier releases).

Seems you need "Import Drawing/Data" to merge an existing drawing in another drawing, which will get model, dimensions, views etc. It is available in Layout > Insert > Import Drawing/data and after merging new sheet will add to existing drawing.
