Allow any element that can exist on sheet to be copied from other views

[jkidder]

There are several items that can exist both on sheets and in views and legends (including text, annotations and detail lines).  While these items can be copied FROM a sheet to a view, they can not be copied TO a sheet from a view.  When it is attempted the error "Elements copied to Sheets can only be copied from other Sheets." is generated.

This requires work to redraw/recreate/retype information already available when creating annotations or editing sheets.  The fact that views have scales and sheets do not shouldn't be an issue, since it is possible to copy items in one direction, the process just needs to be reversed.

Only trying to copy model elements (like a wall) from a view to a sheet should generate an error.

This has my full sympathy.  Struggling with this myself.   It would be great to take work that I've done in a view and not have to recreate it in a sheet view.  This is especially true when I'm developing a way of working in a document and things drawn in a drafting view become formalized as an annotation family.

Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea. Unfortunately, this idea did not get the support of the community over the last 6 months and as such we will not be pursuing it at this time. Please feel free to rework (titles and clear descriptions are really important) and resubmit this one down the road.
