I have a part (IPT) and a drawing (IDW) that is generated from this part. If I have to make a part very similar to the first one, I can do so by saving the original as a new part name and performing the necessary changes on it. However, is there a way to also save the corresponding IDW with a new name or number and make it dependent on the NEW part? That way I would not have to produce an entirely new drawing, with dimensions, annotations etc.
Sounds good to me, but I can't figure out how to copy a drawing or a part in
DA. Is it because I'm working in a Semi-isolated mode.

1) Copy both (IPT) and (IDW) with new names
2) Temporarily rename the original (IPT) file
3) Open the new (IDW) and when it can't find the original (IPT) point it
to the new (IPT)
4) Save and exit the new (IDW)
5) Rename the original (IPT) back to its original name so the original
(IDW) can find it.
6) Make edits to new (IPT)
Hope this helps

Yes, the multi-user mode in the active project must be off. Just set it to
off mode for the DA operations.
