Drawing mode: duplicate sheets?

[Zc@d]

Hello, is there a way to duplicate sheets, in case we need to have slightly different versions of the same drawing?
Thanks in advance.

If you mean different versions of the same drawing FILE, then use Save As, then do minor edits on the new file.

If you want slightly different sheets in the same drawing file, there isn't a quick way to do that.

I'm talking about the second option... well, I do a solemn request, please add that feature in the next version!

Otherwise we need to do separate files and then combine the pdfs together afterwards, which is time consuming

And also be able to choose if we keep the same tags from a sheet to an other, because having to fill in the same infos manually each time is quite annyoing honestly.

Please submit an enhancement request to support, and include details of WHY this would be a good idea. I'm not clear what the driver is for duplicating sheets in drawing.
There are always more requests than there is capacity to implement them, so you need to make a good case to give your request best chance of being chosen.

If you don't want to have to fill in field values manually for each sheet, set the template up to automatically populate fields based on properties from the model. Then most properties can be set for the model and will auto-populate the template fields. OR - Continuation sheets (Sh 2 templates) have no or very few fields that accept manual entry.

To temper expectations - the 'to-do' list for version 28 is already being worked through, it mainly includes PDM related stuff and some items that couldn't be finished for v27. Scope to add anything extra is already very limited.

Our PDF publishing does include option to continue existing PDF, which might reduce the time consumed.
