Draft Entity Snap Lines and Related Views
As you work with draft entity snap lines, consider the behavior of snap lines and snapped items as you relate and unrelate draft entities to views.
 |
The term background view refers to items belonging to the drawing but not belonging to any view, such as a free note.

• The view of a snapped item will not be automatically changed or related due to a manipulation of a draft entity.
• If a draft entity is related to view X, you can snap items to snap lines if they belong to view X or to the background view.
• If a draft entity is not related to a view (just on the background view), you can snap items to its snap lines regardless of the view to which they belong, including the background view.
• If a draft entity is not related to a view (just on the background view), you can relate the draft entity to the view as long as the items on a snap line offset from that draft entity do not belong to a different (non-background) view. For example, you can relate draft entity to a view X if all the items snapped to the snap line belong to either the background view or view X.
• At any time, you can unrelate a view (changed back to the background view). All items snapped to its snap lines remain snapped.
There are no special considerations for draft entities in draft groups. Draft Groups will exhibit the same behavior.
