Replace Model on one sheet

I have a sheetmetaldrawing with 2 sheets. What i want is sheet one to be the formed part (generic) and sheet two to be the flat part (instance). What i have is, Sheet one =thegeneric, fully dimensioned. Sheet 2 = thegeneric fully dimensioned as if it was the flat. I'd like to replace the sheet 2 generic with the flat ONLY ON SHEET 2. Is therea way this is possible? When i do a simple right click properties and replace, i end up replaceing both sheet 1 and 2 with the flat. I know i can do a save copyas and replace and the insert from shared data and insert another sheet...any shorter way?
 
Copy (Save as) your drawing (drw1) under another name (drw2). In drw1, delete sheet 2. In drw2, delete sheet 1 and change the model to the flat part. Then insert drw2 as sheet 2 in drw1.
 
On sheet 2, delete the views you made so far, and then "properties- add modell" and choose the flat instance and just place it on sheet 2. Then you have one drawing with both your states on it.


Or am i missing something? (maybe you just dont want to delete your already created views...?)
