About Working with 2D Views
A Legacy drawing may contain imported views, which are Legacy views transferred from another system, as well as new views added in Legacy. Both types are 2D drafting views and are indicated in the drawing with a dashed border. A view box is visible only if you click Insert > 2D Views.
In Legacy, 2D views are non parametric. They are used to organize the process of creating and manipulating geometry. After you select a view, it automatically selects geometry associated with it for an operation. You can access the view functionality using the View Manager dialog box.
All views in a Legacy drawing are general views. You can scale and manipulate them independently of each other. If you want all new geometry to belong to a particular view, you must specify this view as the current view.
