Iknow that my following query may not have a solution and I may be stuck doing everything over again. However, I am hoping some of you might have some insight on any tricks I can use to make my life easier.

I have .mi files that are finished and ready to be sent to a manufacturer. However, I want to attach the corresponding 3D part to the .mi file so that an external person can reference the 3D geometry of the part without opening another file.

I opened the .stp file and then imported the .mi file. I am able to save as a .bdl but the .mi 2D views are not linked to the 3D views. As of right now, I can't re-reference the views, only create new ones that are linked to the 3D geometry.

A BDL is just a ZIP-Archive containing a 3D model and a 2D Drawing, but the 3D model and 2D drawing
