When building an assembly and related parts "Top down", for some parts, their origin is located far away from the part's geometry (relative to assy origin). As the assembly resizes the parts, the drawings related to the parts update and the views move. Is there a way to prevent this? Sometimes it throws the views off the sheet dpending on how far they move in the assembly.

No one else has this question

I've come across this. The origin location of an in-context part will depend on what you use for your initial sketch plane. Playing about with it just now, I found that if you are careful about what you choose to start sketching on, it's often possible to align the part's sketch origin to the origin of a suitable mating component, such that the part origin remains within the confines of your initial part sketch. That way your drawings should be much more predictable.

HTH.

It would be nice if we could "anchor" part geometry in a drawing view to a certain point on the drawing sheet.

  Would be nice indeed.
  
  I can't see how anyone can do automated top down design drawings without encountering this problem.
