  2. Hold down the control key and multi-select the Front
  View, Side View and Bottom View from the tree.
  3. Right click and select copy from the contextual menu.
  4. Create a new drawing, and paste the views into the new
  drawing's sheet. To paste the views, select the sheet in the
  tree, right click, and select paste from the contextual
  menu.
  5. Grab any of the views that were just pasted into the new
  drawing and move it.
