Inserting Model Items
You can insert dimensions, annotations, and reference geometry from 
 a model document (part or assembly) into a drawing.

 an assembly feature, a drawing view, or all views.  When 
 inserting items into all drawing views, dimensions and annotations appear 
 in the most appropriate view. Features that appear in partial views, such 
 as detail or section views, are dimensioned in those views first.
