Hi,

I would like to specify the view location on every sheet for my drawing.

Specifically, I am preparing a solder drawing where I show the order of assembly.

I want to have the same front and top view shown on several sheets but I dont want the location of the views to change as you flip through the sheets.

This way as the fabricators flip through sheets they intuitivley see what parts need to be soldered in what order.

In solid edge, I would normally be able to shift+paste the views onto the desired sheets. this would tell solid edge to place the views in the exact location as the previous sheets.

Please see my screenshots.

Thanks.

You can copy a sheet as many times as you want and delete views and add views as you want and the views you don't delete from sheet to sheet will stay in the same location.

What I would do is set up one sheet how you want it and then right click each view and "Lock View Focus", then click anywhere on the sheet and hit ctrl C and then hit ctrl V and place as many drawing sheets you need...

Agreed, thank you for your help. It explains alot, I guess theres a certain degree of affinity accross these programs. The ability to yield the same effect or result is quite impressive.

In SW you can copy/paste views from sheet to sheet using drop down menu

Don't forget to lock View Position.

One other approach is to create a drawing template with a predefined view. Then, each time you add a new sheet based on that template the view will already exist in the location defined by the template.
