We've just upgraded to 2018 (don't ask) and have found a new 'feature' in Drawings, Drawing Views do not stay locked. I haven't fully figured out when it does it. I know if I switch from the drawing to the model and back they are unlocked. They will also unlock after a save. Has anyone else run into this and is there a fix?
probably your message was unnoticed.
Maybe what I wrote is not your answer, it will just give an idea.
I hope that will be useful.

Lock View Focus vs. Lock View Position
Trying to move an annotation arrow but drawing view moves instead? ~ SolidWorks Legion
Yeah, we've been using the Lock View Position for years. We use Bluebeam to overlay the pages of revisions to ensure that something hasn't changed on its own. This is nearly impossible if the view has moved. What I don't understand is why, once locked, the view would unlock itself. It is DEFINITELY a bug.
Frankly, I've never lived so far, so I have no idea. Sorry!
If one day I get some information about this topic, i will write it here.
Any one? Bueller?
