I have a basic assembly (just two parts) i need to detail both parts on one sheet then include a basic assembled view again detailedHow do i do this?!?!?!I can use exploded view then partial view to exclude the part i don’t want but it seems messy.Can i have a drawing with two models?

Yes, you can have a drawing with many models. In your case you want three: each part and the assembly as a whole.

Oh yeah, and it's a little hard to find if you haven't done it before: File/Properties/Drawing Models/Add Model & Set Model. That's through WF 3.0; don't know if there was a change in 4.0; probably different with the ribbon in 5.0.

Yes you are right, in WF5 there is a button for drawing models. When you click this, you can choose add drawing model, then you take the part or assembly you want to add in your drawing. In the drawing on the bottom you can see what drawing model is active, by clicking it you can choose between the installed drawingmodels. It's easy, I do it all the time to save paper, more models on one page. As you can see to the added PDF the flat pattern ("ontvouwing" in dutch) is added that way.

Also when the Layout tab is active, drawing models appears on the RMB popup menu. and that takes you to the same menu for management of the drawing models.
