Can you update oriented views and their projected views?
Can you update oriented views and their projected views?
(OP)
If you have a custom view that is oriented in a specific orientation, how can you make its projected views update automatically when you have a model change to the base view?





RE: Can you update oriented views and their projected views?
There are a couple other things you can do to update the views on the drawing, which includes a toggle to have it automatically done, but I am not at work right now to tell you correctly how to do it.
Maybe try Help (pull down menu) -> Command Finder, and then enter update drawing views
and see what results it gives you
RE: Can you update oriented views and their projected views?
In your part navigator you can click on the view in the drawing, or the drawing itself, and Update
Or for automatic updating of the drawing views:
Preferences -> Drafting Preferences -> Views -> uncheck Delay View Update

there is no parent-child relationship between projected views and base views
One could argue that section views and detail views have such a relationship to their parent views.
I have no insider knowledge of how and why NX works the way it does, but I will say that associativity is a double-edged sword. Yes, there are times that such associativity between views would be handy. However, let's imagine your drawing is almost done and it contains dozens or hundreds of dimensions and annotations. Even a small change to the base view could break the associativity of most (possibly all) the dimensions and other assorted annotations.
Also, let's not forget that UG/NX is over 30 years old; in the early versions, I doubt the 3D models had much associativity - let alone the drawing views. It may be that in the early days, view associativity wasn't thought of or there was an architectural limitation and NX simply developed along that trajectory.
That said, if you would like to see it in a future version - contact GTAC and open an enhancement request (ER).
