Hello all,

I am looking to see if there is a simpler way of creating my drawing details.  Currently, I have a drawing that shows some basic views of a bus stop, plans and elevations.  I am learning about configurations and display states, fun fun.  So I have some newbie questions.

One thing I have been doing is; when I need to detail a part (say a rafter) I RMB the part, open the part, go to the sheet I want it on, insert the now opened part, measure the part in the full model and the part being detailed to confirm its the right configuration, then close the part. 

First, can I put the part into another sheet without opening and closing the part separate from the drawing?  

Second, is it necessary to check/compare the dimensions for configuration differences?  So far it appears that the few I have done open and insert with the correct configuration if I RMB to open from the correct part on the drawing.  Is that just dumb luck or by design?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
