Bounding Box on Drawing Views: any way to change?
Bounding Box on Drawing Views: any way to change?
(OP)
I'm doing a print for a multibody part that has an exploded view, and every drawing view has a huge bounding box (the dotted line thing you grab to move the views around.) In order to get all of the views on the print, the boxes are overlapping, and it's really difficult to select and move a view on the inside; I have to move the other views away, then move that view, then move the other views back.
Is there any way to shrink these boxes down so they only contain the visible part of the veiw?

A few versions ago we could manually resize the drawing view bounding box. I don't know why the option was removed.

I don't have any notes attached that then enlarged the boxes. I also don't have any stray sketch elements, hidden parts, or reference geometry that I know of. My initial top, front, and right planes are blown up large, apparently causing the bounding box issue, and I've figured out which feature is causing it, but not why. I have a split. I inserted a reference plane .02" into the part (using the bottom of the part for the definition of the reference plane) then used that to split the part into 2 bodies. For some reason, this feature makes the initial planes all blow up large. I can drag the bar at the bottom of the feature tree up, and as soon as that feature is suppressed, the planes go back to just larger than the part. Any idea why?
My exploded view only separates the parts an inch or so; much less than the growth of the plans and corresponding view boundaries.

I suggest you submit that to your VAR as a bug.
If you do a search in the KB for large view boundary, quite a few SPRs will be listed, and you will be able to vote for some of them to escalate their priority.
