Reference geometry in drawing

I usually don't do that because the location of the drawing on the sheet will vary with scale and model size.
Additionally, you have to position the "line frame" where you want it in modeling, and when you want a side view, you have to rotate your frame.
It really becomes much more of a hassel that what it's worth.

Let me clarify a bit.
I incorporate reference datum planes into drawings to show where my object is in space, and how reference lengths are measured.
However I do not incorporate reference geometry in modeling to position a view in a drawing.
Or maybe I misunderstood the question all together? Wouldn't put it past me!
