Answer:
Here are the steps you need to follow;
- Open up the Drawing List
- Select the Multi-Drawing(s) in need of change or individual Assembly drawing(s) that you want to move to another sheet.
- Click the 'Select Objects' button on the right side of the Drawing list
- Go to Drawings & Reports menu > Change number > Clear assembly numbers
- Again, go to Drawings & Reports menu > Numbering settings > Numbering settings and make sure that 'Re-use old numbers' is checked
- Again, go to Drawings & Reports menu > Perform numbering > Number modified objects
- The Drawing List should update to include 3 types of drawings
- Assembly with 'Cloned' flag - > These are your new drawings
- Assembly with 'Quantity decreased' flag -> upon Update these become Obsolete (All parts deleted)
- Multi-drawing(s) with 'Linked drawing changed' flag
- Delete all the obsolete drawings
- Update & Open up the Multi-Drawing and delete all the Assemblies (or the individual one(s) you are removing from this sheet)
- Close, Save, and ReOpen Multi-Drawing
- Select the Assembly drawings from the Drawing list that you want to re-add to this Multi-drawing if applicable. Upon added them, they will take Multi numbers associated to this Multi-drawing.
- Open up another Multi-drawing and add the Assembly drawing(s) that you removed from the first Multi-drawing. Upon added them, they will take Multi numbers associated to this Multi-drawing.
