I'm looking for a work flow where I can create drawings for a part selected in an assembly rather than these other methods:

  1. Open part.  Select "Make drawing from selected Part/Assembly"
  2. Open drawing template.  Browse to desired part and insert views.
  3. Open drawing template.  Tile the assembly and the blank drawing viewports horizontally.  Drag part from the assembly feature manager tree to drawing template.

The method I'm looking for is similar to #1 except I wouldn't have to open the part first.  I'd be able to just select the part in the assembly and start the drawing creation process immediately.  Is this functionality there and I just haven't uncovered it?  Or, can this be done with a macro?

Thanks for your help,
