Is it possible to copy a view with it's dependents?

I want to know if it is possible to copy a view with their dependents already assigned to a scope box  and with certain elements such as grids, section symbols and other stuff that I have manually adjusted for each dependent view, the reason I want to do this is because I'm gonna use the same crop regions to generate different kinds of keyplans for referencing detailing such as carpentry, glazing , etc, etc, so I want to have the same croped views multiple times and be able to edit all of them within a single leading view for each discipline (that's why I want to keep them as dependents) If they lost the dependency I will have to adjust each one without they been linked with the detailing.

 

I hope I've made myself clear, as english is not my first language I struggled on how to describe my problem accurately.

Yes.  Steps:

 

- Duplicate overall View 1 with detail to create View 2

- Right click View 1 and choose Apply Dependent Views, then point to View 2 to replicate all dependent views

Alright!! that's pretty sweet to know! thanks a lot, what I noticed though Is that it in fact copies all the dependent views with the detailing, but for example the position of 2d symbols such as section view symbols, grids and annotation regions, as well as hidden elements within the original dependent views are reseted and I would need to adjust manually again for the dependant views, Is there a way to copy this properties within analogous dependant views?

No.  Not that I know of.

Ok I find a workaround for this, not the most efficient but does the job I was looking for, after copying the dependents as you taught me, you have to turn off for a moment the scope box and the crop region for both views you want to share grid extensions, then from there you can propagate the extents within the two analogous views. That only works for gridlines and not for section lines though

Yes that works for grids and levels only.
