Transfering views in multiple sheet IDW's

Anonymous
Not applicable
Here's my problem. I started a IDW and added the dimensions, breakout views,
etc.. Now I want to add sheet 2 and transfer one view to it. The view I want
to transfer is not a projected view, but a "stand alone?" base view. The
only thing I've tried was to copy and paste and got this message: "Following
view must be copied along with their parent view". It would be a time saver
not to redraw this view (lots of dims & breakout views). Thanks in advance.

Make the sheet with the one view activ,
drag the view in the browser and drop
it onto the inactive new sheet.

Keep in mind that when you move a view, dimensions and attached sketches
often don't transfer from one page to the next very well. You'll probably
have to do some cleanup.

Thanks Mike. But Patrick was right, breakout views really messed up.
