Detail View with out a parent

[cpbpilot]

So I have a 14 sheet drawing that I have to make some changes to. I have a detail view BA when I right click the view in the part nav to try to navigate to the parent that option is not available. I'm trying to figure out how this can be a detail view with out a parent to associate to. Any Ideas?

My guess is that is a simple base view with the border manually edited to look like a detail view.
So rmc on the view -> boundary -> change to automatic rectangle

I'd guess the detail view was made independent, then the parent view was deleted.

Hi,

My guess is that the view has been made to Independent detail view.

Its not a base view with an edited border. That's what I thought at first but in the parts nav it is listed as a detail view.
If you deleted a parent view I thought it deleted all if its children with it?
How do you go about making a detail view independent I haven't seen this done yet.

How do you go about making a detail view independent I haven't seen this done yet.

Create a detail view then right click on it and choose "make independent". Now delete the parent view; you will find that the independent detail view remains (a dependent detail view will be deleted with the parent view).

OK. I guess that explains that!
