Can I rationalize parts of Frame Assembly?

This frame is nothing and means nothing.  It's just me experimenting with Frame Generator in Inventor 2015.

Inventor creates 16 drawings for this, one for each part.  Obviously, though, many of the parts are duplicated - for example, the four odd-leg angles are identical.

 

Can this situation be rationalized to give (in this instance) one drawing with a requirement for four pieces?

Frame-Gen has historically created a new instance for each member. Released in IV2015 is the ability to "re-use" identical frame members. This will reduce the number of individual part files required. Further information on this can be found within the Help Menu: http://help.autodesk.com/view/INVNTOR/2015/ENU/?guid=GUID-C7ABE088-32FC-48BF-A4BB-0CD6A6AFF76F
