You can cut, copy, and paste drawing views from one sheet to another in the same drawing, and from one drawing document to another.

You can also drag views from sheet to sheet within a drawing (but not to another drawing document).

To perform these operations on multiple views at once, hold down the Ctrl key as you select the views.

NOTE: To copy a Detail or Section View from one drawing to another, you must also copy the parent view. You can either copy the parent view first, or you can copy both the parent and the Detail or Section View at the same time.

To cut/copy/paste a drawing view:

  1. Select the view either on the sheet or in the FeatureManager design tree.

  2. Click Cut art\STD-cut.gif or Copy art\STD-copy.gif on the Standard toolbar, or click Edit, Cut or Copy.
