To Insert a Projection View
A projection view is an orthographic projection of another view’s geometry along a horizontal or vertical direction. Projection views are placed in projection channels, above, below or to the right or left of the parent view.
1. Open a drawing.
2. Click Layout > Projection. Alternatively, select a view, right-click and click Insert Projection View on the shortcut menu.
3. Select the parent view that you want to display in the projection. A box appears over the parent view, representing the projection.
4. Drag the box horizontally or vertically to the required location. Left-click to place the view. To modify the properties of the projection, select and right-click the projection view. Click Properties on the shortcut menu.
5. To continue defining other attributes of the drawing view, click Apply and then select the appropriate category. If you have completely defined the drawing view, click Ok.
 
• When a projection view is created it is given a default name based on the direction from which it is derived. 
• To show the view name as a label on the view, make sure the make_proj_view_notes configuration option to yes. You must set the option before you create the view.
• Use the default_view_label_placement Detail option to specify the location of the view label.
