Positioning a View Independently of its Reference View  

At creation, views are by default positioned according to the parent (reference) view. This task will show you how to position a right projection view independently of its parent front view.
This functionality was called Do not align view up until V5 R10.
Open the GenDrafting_part.CATDrawing document.

  1. Right-click the frame of the view that you want to position independently of its reference view. A contextual menu is displayed.

  2. Select View Positioning > Position Independently of Reference View.

  3. Drag the view to the required location.
  • The Position Independently of Reference View command can be performed on one particular view at a time (you cannot multi-select views in this case).
  • If you want to reposition independently-positioned views according to their reference view, repeat the scenario described above, this time selecting the Position According to Reference View command from the displayed contextual menu.
