To Align a View
Depending on the type of view, you can position the drawing view on the sheet by aligning the view with another view. For example, you may align a detail view with its parent to ensure that the detail view follows the parent view, if moved.
The view will remain aligned and move like a projection view until it is unaligned. If you need to unalign, clear Align this view to other view box in the Drawing View dialog box. You can realign a view by changing the alignment references, which are described below.

Alignment creates a visual relationship between two views. It does not create a Parent–Child relationship between unrelated views.
1. Open a drawing.
2. With a view selected and the Drawing View dialog box open, click the Alignment category. The View alignment options display in the dialog box.
3. To bring the selected view in line with another view, click Align this view to other view. You are prompted to select the view to align with.
* 
When the selected view is a projection or auxiliary view, it can be unaligned from its projection parent by clearing Align this view to other view and click Apply. When the selected view is a projection or auxiliary view which has been unaligned from its parent, after clicking Align this view to other view you will not be able to select a view to align it to. The parent view's name will automatically appear in the collector.
4. Select the appropriate view on the drawing. The view name is displayed in the reference collector on the dialog.
* 
When the selected view is a parent/child to other views, all of the related views highlight in blue and may also move when you modify the alignment.
5. Define how to limit the movement of the view you are aligning:
Horizontal—The view and the view it is aligned to will lie on the same horizontal line. If the view it is aligned to is moved, the view will move vertically so as to maintain horizontal alignment.
Vertical—The view and the view it is aligned to will lie on the same vertical line. If the view it is aligned to is moved, the view will move horizontally so as to maintain vertical alignment.
Click Apply to see the view alignment. If the view alignment is not acceptable, repeat the steps above. If the view alignment is appropriate and no changes needs to be made, select the next appropriate category to define or click Close.
6. By default, the views are aligned according to their view origin. You can modify where the views align by defining alignment references. Click Custom and select a reference, such as an edge, on one of the views. The reference is displayed in the collector on the dialog. Click Apply to preview the alignment.
If necessary, you can customize the alignment on the other view. Click Custom for the view still aligned with its origin. Select an appropriate reference. Click Apply to preview the alignment.
