Automatically Populate Predefined Views on Multiple Sheets in Drawing Template

I have a 2 sheet drawing template and both sheets contain predefined views. How do you get the predefined views on sheet 2 to automatically populate with the same model used in sheet 1? Sheet 1's views populate just fine when using the Make Drawing from Part/Assembly command, but in sheet 2 the user has to manually click a view and select the model from the "Insert Model" section of the view property manager.

Is there a way to set up the drawing template so all predefined views on all sheets populate upon drawing creation? I've never built a 2-sheet drawing template before so this is new territory.

Thanks,

This is a current limitation and I've recently raise an ER for it which is under consideration I guess

Any update on this? Seems like a pretty big shortcoming of Solidworks templates that's been open for multiple years?

Jip, just make sure you keep your subscription paid up that's the most important part.
