I'm looking for a way to archive details for re-use. This would likely involve somehow exporting all drafting views from a project that have been placed on sheets. Whether they are exported to files, families, or a "holding" project is undetermined at this time. They would need to retain the Sheet/Number combination so the architects could find them easily by referring to printed sheets of past projects. Perhaps this info could be held in a database or perhaps it could be part of a file name or a view name.
This the early stages of my idea and I'm unsure of the API and it's capabilities.
Is it possible for the API to read and import from another file similar to the "Insert from File" function? Does the file need to be open?
Is it possible export a drafting view to a file using API?

Has anyone tackled this problem yet?
