Orthographic view moves using drawing templates

I cannot figure out why my orthographic view keeps moving when I use my drawing template.

I use "Make Drawing from Part/Assembly" and select my drawing template, shown below. Which creates a drawing with the orthographic view moved from the top right corner to the top middle... for some reason SW aligns the orth view vertically instead of where I want it. I broke the alignment when I placed the orth view in the corner... because that it where I want it!! Stop messing with me SW. You won't like me when I am angry.

It is frustrating. I don't see why it shouldn't work. Can anyone enlighten me?

No one else has this question

Try locking the position (right click on view and select lock view position) and check, though it is strange that views are moving.

I thought of that too, and tried it a couple different ways, but it did not work. The view stays locked (I have the option to Unlock when rt clicked) in the .dwgdot file, even after closing and reopening. Yet it doesn't stay in the new drawing, the view still moves and is aligned vertically.

Any chance if yo share the drawing template and the model you're using. You may remove the proprietary details from both.

Sure let me try to attach things. I made a nonsense part to check the problem so no problem sharing that and I'll just delete some titleblock stuff on the drawing template.

That looks like a correct behavior as the view is a project view. But since you've the view project and it should appear as Isometric projection (which it is appearing) but it is messing up the alignment.

I deleted that view, added again and it works great. I also added a separate view for Isometric view (I added one on left side).

It must be something on my computer. I opened your file and it works great, but when I edited the title block and saved it, it acts the same as before! I tried just saving your file without changes and again it breaks.

The separate view stays in place which is expected since it has no parent view to align with, but we have had issues when views are not "linked to parent" so i would like to keep it a projected view.

I'll check it again over weekend on a different machine.

Thank you. I had a problem upgrading to SP04 due to that Windows KB3072630 issue, and I still get that DLL alert message every once in a while, even after trying several solutions. So it maybe that causing problems in weird places.

This seems to be some sort of bug. If you change the sheet format, the issue returns. So please report to your VAR.
