Relating Draft Lines and Views
You can automatically relate draft entities to views, which ensures the draft entities move and rescale with the view, while maintaining their location relative to that view. You can associate notes (without leaders), symbols, and geometric tolerances with a draft view in addition to draft geometry.
By default, the system does not associate all draft lines with views. When you can set a drawing view to be the current draft view, all new draft entities are associated with that view. You can regard the related objects as a group.
However, some draft entities are automatically related to the view that the model geometry belongs to; including fillets, chamfers, drafts that use edges, and trimming done at intersections and by equal segments. The relation of these draft entities to their respective views overrides any other default draft view setting.
Dimensions for draft entities related to views are provided in model units and adhere to the drawing scale. If you relate an existing draft entity, it is updated to display in the model units. Dimensions not related to a view display according to the drawing units and adhere to the drawing scale.
To Relate Draft Entities to Views
• Sketch draft entities; select desired draft entities to relate and click Sketch > Relate to View.
• Select a view and click Sketch > Relate View.
• Click Set Default Relate View. Sketch the desired draft entities. The sketched draft entities will automatically be related to the selected view. You should unset the group when you are finished sketching.
• Parametric sketching automatically relates draft entities to a view.
To Unrelate Draft Entities from Views
• Select desired draft entities and click Sketch > Unrelate.
• Click Sketch > Relate View.
• Click Unset Default Relate View when you are finished sketching.
 
• A draft entity related to a view may not be switched to another sheet. You cannot switch sheets if items belonging to a view other than the background view are snapped to a draft entity snap line.
• Trimming (Sketch > Trim) a draft entity by corner, bound, length, or increment, does not affect its relation to a view. The related view remains the same.
