fix views in drafting
(OP)
Is it possible to fix views with a dimension in drafting? I have a model that I adjust with parameters, it can adjust from 100 mm till 1300 mm. So I've made an expression for the scale. This all works, but the views are moving from the place where they were in start position.
I'm looking for something that I can fix the views on a corner or so with 2 dimensions in x and y. I've tried some thing and it seems I was almost there with this option: MB3 on a view --> edit --> (expand) tracking and click cursor tracking. Here I can choose a dimension for X and Y but when I load new expressions from the excel sheet and update the drafting views the dimensions adjust themselves.
Does anyone know a solution for me?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

Thanks for your answer.
I've tried it but it only works when the scale stays the same. If the scale is changed the view gets another position.

Can you show a picture of what you are trying to do?

First I did only 1 view with an anchor point and had aligned the other views with this one. But when I placed anchor points to all views it works good to me!

The dimensions look strange, they should not do what you show in the picture.
Have you tried updating the sheet ? Right click the sheet in the part navigator- Update
to see if this is some strange update problem .
If the dimensions doesn't update i think you should speak to GTAC about this.

I did try updating the sheet but it won't work. I thought it was something by origin but can't find it anymore.
thanks anyway!
