Simple drawing question

All I want to do is add a current design to an existing drawing. I don't want to put a design in a design, just put it in an existing drawing. Under "destination" in the drawing dialog set up there is a drop down where I would think I could choose an existing drawing as the destination. I can't get anything but 'new" to come up. How do I set the destination to an existing drawing. How do I do this very simple task?

Hey @ajf1231 

If you have an existing drawing for the current design, that should show up in the drop down. You will need to have the existing drawing open first.

Attached (I think) is a screen shot of what I'm seeing. I have the drawing open I want to use but it is not an option for me under the destination drop down.

You need to make sure the model matches the 2D drawing you have open.  Close all models in Fusion 360.  Open the 2D drawing you want to add a sheet to.  Once the 2D drawing is open, right mouse click on the top assembly in the drawing browser and choose Open.  This will open the related model so you will have the option you desire when you go to create a new drawing from the model.
