To Define the View Origin
The placing and positioning of views on drawings uses the view origin as a reference, with the exception of custom view alignments. You can specify the view origin using a location on either the model or the drawing sheet.
1. Open a drawing.
2. Double-click an existing view. Alternatively, right-click and click Properties on the shortcut menu. The Drawing View dialog box opens.
3. Click the Origin category. The View origin options display in the dialog box.
4. Define the location of the view origin in one of the following ways:
◦ View origin—Define the origin using the model.
▪ To customize the view origin, click On item and then select the model reference you want to use as the view origin. The item is listed in the collector. The view will reference this item when positioned on the drawing.
▪ To use the model center, which is the default setting, make sure Model center is selected.
◦ View location in sheet—Define the origin using drawing sheet measurements.

 If the geometry referenced in a view is suppressed or deleted, the system warns you that model geometry is missing. For views oriented with the suppressed or deleted reference, the view returns to its default position. |
