NX9 - Associative View Orientation for ISO view?
NX9 - Associative View Orientation for ISO view?
(OP)
When using BASE VIEW, and selecting the ORIENT VIEW TOOL, if I check "Associative Orientation", I can click a face for Normal Direction, and a horizontal edge for X direction to get a squared view that is associated to that view of the model. I can move and spin the component around and the view will stay the same in Drafting.
I have learned how to do this with Projected Views as well.
However, I cannot figure out how to create an ISO view of my choosing that will be associative. Any of the options I choose seems to change the view on me. How do you do this with a view where you don't have any faces that are flat to your view point, or edges that are in the X direction?

RE: NX9 - Associative View Orientation for ISO view?
The reason I cant get it to work is because when creating the view from BASE VIEW, and I select the "ORIENT VIEW TOOL" that looks like the two curved arrows icon, when I check the Associative Orientation box, I cannot figure out the options to create a clean iso view. Any options I use change the orientation of the object in the preview screen to an orientation that is all wrong. ISnt there some option where I can orient the model in the preview window to how I like it, then just select something to "fix" the view in that particular orientation? Or some trick to using these options to create the orientation you need?
I know this sounds unorthodox to need to do such a thing, but this option could save us a lot of work, time, and grief in the future for what we are working on doing.
