Copy Sheet from One Drawing to Another?

I swear I've done this before and now I can't make it work.

 

You can't copy a sheet within a drawing to duplicate it.  So, as a workaround, I saved a copy of the drawing to a different name and tried to copy a sheet back.  Pick the view in the browser, right click, copy.  Switch to the original drawing, right click paste in the browser.  All I keep getting is an error "Invalid input for Request."  I even think I remember getting this error before and finding a way around it.

 

So what am I doing wrong?

I tried it yet again by saving the existing drawing to "temp", deleting all the views, copying the sheet and pasting it into the original drawing.  I think there was at least a quit and restart of Inventor in there somewhere, too.  This time it worked.

Your drawing has to be saved...

I had the same issue, i.e. error "Invalid input for request" when pasting a sheet from one idw to another.

 

In the end I got it working by deleting the title block and border before copying (and then re-adding them afterwards).

Hi Roland,

 

Could you share an example exhibiting the behavior? The error sounds like a corruption to me.

Many thanks!

Ok I know its an old topic... so I just had this error and I think I find out what was the problem... TITTLE BLOCK! I had 2 tittle block named the same way but with slight modifications in it. I dont know of its because of the modifications or they both had the same name but I removed the tittle block on the sheet I wanted to copy, I copied the sheet and then I reinsert my tittle block. Works like a charm!
