Hey all,

I want to make a block of a drawing view. Not just of a sketch.

Now I export the drawing to DXF, import to new sheet and then make block. Then I use the block as a surrounding to pin point a location in the hole machine or machine lay-out.

Inserting the complete view connects the complete 3D assembly to the drawing which is just a small part of the total assembly. The drawing is in that case to heavy to handle.

So just a pic of the machine is enough to make clear  of the location where the parts are mounted.

Is it possible to make a block of a drawing view or convert a drawing view to a sketch of some kind.

I'm using SW 2009 sp5

Thanks in advance.

Greetings, Ed
