Modifying Detail Views which have been moved to a different sheet

Modifying Detail Views which have been moved to a different sheet

(OP)
Do I have to move a detail view back ot the sheet of its parent view in order to modify it? For example if I need to move the anchor point or change the size of the area that is depicted.

Thanks,

I am using 7.5.2.5 NATIVE on Dell with windows XP OS

Found the answer. Right click on detail view boundary. Select View Boundary. Select Reset. Select boundary again and drag boundary circle to desired size.

Good old trial and error.

RE: Modifying Detail Views which have been moved to a different sheet

Starting in NX 7.5 when you create a Detailed View the default is to to create it 'associatively linked' to the original parent view (this was NOT even an option prior to NX 7.5).  These means that instead of editing the detailed view you make your edits on the parent view.  However, if you wish actually edit the detail view, select the view boundary, press MB3 and select the option titled 'Convert to Independent Detail'.  This will make your drawing views behave as they did prior to NX 7.5.
