Overlays is a powerful functionality of Pro/E drawing mode. With that you would be able toshowall the sheets (with all the views, note, etc, etc) from"drawing_2.drw" into file "drawing_1.drw". Also "drawing_2.drw" will be updated automatically with the changes done in "drawing_2.drw". .
Here is the some info from Pro/Help. Look into Pro/Help for more details and explore it. I am sure you would appreciate it.
Using overlays, you can superimpose selected views or an entire sheet of one drawing over the current drawing sheet. This functionality is available for drawings, layouts, reports, and diagrams; each can reference objects of these four types, as well as formats. When working with overlays, keep in mind the following: ?Overlays are read-only in the current drawing. ?The system updates overlays to changes in the source drawing. ?Overlaid views appear with all detail items. ?You cannot select overlays for any drawing procedure. ?If the size of the current drawing is different from the size of the source drawing, the overlays brought into the current drawing maintain the same screen size (that is, they occupy the same portion of the graphics window) as they had in the source drawing.
