Change Arrangement of base view?
Change Arrangement of base view?
(OP)
Hi,
I've made a drawing with a base view of the wrong arrangement. Is it possible to change it or should I just start over? When right clicking on the view in the part navigator and selecting edit, I don't see anything about changing the arrangement used.
Thanks,
Chris

Therefore, the recommended workflow is that under normal conditions, you should leave the dialog setting for 'Arrangment' as is when placing the base view for the Assembly which the Drawing is actually going to be based on. Only if you wish to include secondary views of the Assembly showing any addition Arrangements, as reference or for informational purposes, should you select an alternative Arrangement during the placement of a second or third 'BASE View'.
I hope that's clear.

RE: Change Arrangement of base view?
Essentially what I have is an assembly of 4 Panels. Each arrangement that I have is set to suppress 3 of the other panels so that each panel has its own arrangment.
On my drawing, I have one sheet for each panel, so the base view for that panel is set for the panel's specific arrangement.
I finished the drawing but had to switch the arrangments around so now the views are messed up so I was hoping there would be an easy way to change the arrangement of the base view already in the drawing.
It seems like you are saying this is bad practice and I should have each panel be a seperate assembly?
