Multiple Models in Single Drawing

I am making a drawing of a sub-assembly, and on a separate sheet I am including a drawing of one of the individual parts.


The subassembly is a vibration plate with threaded inserts, so the main assembly view just calls out the two parts (vibe plate and inserts), along with location for P/N & S/N.


The next sheet will show the details of the vibe plate part, dimensions, etc. But, when I try to add a new view, it only gives me views of the sub-assembly. How do I put a different view of the individual part into the same drawing? Thanks.


I might get an answer from the design group before here, so when I do I'll update here. Searchign didn't give me the results I desired.
 
Right-click anywhere on the screen, and goto "properties". In the dialog box, select "Drawings Models", then "Add Model". Pick the part that you want to show. Now when you add views, it will be this model only. Do the same for the second part. If you ever need to add another view of your assembly, do the same process as above, but select "Set Model" instead of "Add Model".
 
Thanks Allan! That's exactly what I was looking. Now I can start dimensioning this bad boy and send it out for review.
