Instance in Drawing

[praveen1986]

I want to make a drawing template which will call an
instance of the generic part from family table.
What should I do?
I use ProE WF4.0

Is there anyone who can answer to this question.

A drawing template doesn't call a part. You can open the instance and create a drawing using the template. If you have already created a drawing using the generic part select File>Properties>Drawing Models, select Replace, and select the instance from the Select Instance dialog box.

I am working on sheetmetal part, in which i have to add
both generic part & an instance in my drawing. Generic part
as a bending drawing & instance as a flat drawing for
punching. And i want to create a template which will add
both when i use my template to create a drawing.

A drawing template isn't going to do that. You could create a template for the formed state drawing and one for the flat state drawing and then merge the individual drawings.

how to merge drawings.

With one of the drawings open select Insert>Shared Data>From File and select the other drawing. This also works with drawings that are in session but not saved.
