QUESTION / CONTEXTI have a top view dimensioned on a shaft, can I copy those dimensions to another sheet
IMPORTANT GUIDANCE
- Yes, you can reuse or copy dimensions to another sheet
- But they are usually linked to the original view/model, so behavior varies
- --
- Select the dimensions in your top view
- Copy → switch to the other sheet → paste
- ⚠️ Works best if the same view exists on that sheet
- ⚠️ Dimensions may lose proper references or become “dumb” (not associative)
- Many programs let you import dimensions directly from the 3D model into multiple sheets
