Summary: Have IDW's created automatically from iParts and iAssemblies

Description: I wish I could automatically generate an idw of i-Parts and i-Assemblies.

How Used: It is great to have the tabulated drawings that Inv 11 gives us. Although in some instances it's not feasible to accomplish this. Whether it is driven by customer requirements or it's just the fact there are so many variations of an assembly that it's just not possible. What this means is that you still have to create an idw of possibly hundreds of assemblies manually. What I am proposing is a way to create a "template" of a family of assemblies or family of parts. This "template" would include the i-assembly or i-part and the associated idw.
Then any susequent assemlbies generated from this parent i-assembly or i-part could also have the idw created automatically, with the same views, annotations, notes, etc, without having to do a "save copy as" then create a one-off as usual.
