Drawing views

[BONES1369]

I have a drawing with many different parts in it, all with there own individual views. I am running W/F 2, and I have two questions. All the views need to be aligned, there is a problem because once I align it in the vertical direction, i cannot align it in the horizontal direction, and vise versa. Is there a way to do both? Second question is that each view has its own table associated with it. Is there a way to relate a table to a view so when the view moves the table will follow?

Not sure why you want to align views of different parts, but you can do it by setting the view origin and location. If these parts all go together in an assembly you might be better off making exploded assembly views.

The views need aligned because it is a layout drawing, and the parts are actually all assemblys of tools, so i need to align all the v-flanges in order for it to look right.

Put all the parts into an assembly and create the drawing with exploded
views of the assembly. This will guarantee the alignment you want. If
necessary also define Simplified Reps and/or layers within the assembly
to control what parts are shown.



What sort of table is associated with the views?

The assembly idea works great, although timeconsuming. The tables have the name of the assembly, and all the assembly componets with quantitys. Also a description. They are all pulled from the model. Currently I am setting my drawing model to a certain assembly, and then inserting a table from file that i made. This works fine, but i would like for the table to move if the view moves. Any ideas.

you can also sketch in 'snap-lines' or create them- and move them accordingly to an established view, and use them as a landmark for the other view(s)- it will get you pretty close. I believe you can relate a table to a view.
