More than one base view in one drawing

Hello I would like to ask if it is possible or if anyone knows any suitable workaround.

 

I would like to insert multiple base views in one drawing. Base view of two separated components.

 

The current workaround using assembly and view setup is too tedious

There are a couple of ways. 

First from the design workspace right click the component and select Create Drawing then on the create drawing dialog select your existing drawing and sheet.

Edit. Updated image to show dialog with a selected component.

Or from the drawing workspace just click the Base View icon, this will add the whole design. After selecting a point and OK on the create dialog, just unselect the components\bodies you don't want in the browser.

That's actually why I'm asking. Because if I want to add a part to an already created drawing I don't see the option there. The only option is to create a new drawing.

Yes, sometime you need to have the drawing open already.

 

Note you can only have one design linked to a 2d drawing, use an assembly if you want components from different designs on a single drawing. I thick this is your problem, you need to make an assembly design with the Nut and Bolt then create a drawing of the assembly.

 

Also please paste images into your messages, you can view attached images from a reply and can't view and read the text!😞 

 

A lot easier if you can see the text and image.

I see you had the answer here but you asked about components not different designs.

Thats true sorry, i used wrong term i actually mean two different designs to one drawing without making an assembly of them. And still this doesnt work for me. My approach so far is create assembly of needed designs, drawing of the assembly, several base views with only one component visible for each.

But thats tedious when i use same approach for more decent count than 2 designs

Why are you only creating one component per design? If you want to keep it simple with one 2d drawing why not have a single design with both components as well?
