Modifying a detail view (NX5 drafting)
(OP)
I have an existing circular detail view, and I want to modify the size and location of the reference circle, but I can't remember how. Grrr.

Right click on the boundary of the detail view (the boundary of the actual detail view, not the representation on the parent view), select edit and there will be options to change the center point (location) and boundary point (size).

1. Select view -> MB3 -> View Boundary
2. Select boundary
3. Enlarge view boundary to a point to where you want to place a new anchor point.
4. Select "Anchor point" within existing view boundary window, select new anchor point at new location.
5. You will notice an existing point for the center of the boundary. You will have to click and drag this also. The anchor point and the view boundary center are 2 different things.
This is the way I did it this morning. Hope it helps.

Actually it is.
When the 'View Boundry' dialog comes up, press the 'F1' key and the help file for this dialog will be displayed. At the bottom left corner of the page there will be a list of additional topic, one being 'Edit Circular Detail View Boundary'. Select it and you will get a page with basically the same directions as albates1972 posted.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I'm still having difficulty dragging the diameter of the detail circle in the parent view. If the detail view border is changed from the default circle to "manual rectangle", you apparently lose the ability to drag the circle.

This will correct the view boundary type back to "break/line detail".
