Unable to Add a new Orientation View

Brad Joseph Nov 19, 2013 8:44 AM

Currently myself and other engineers for certain assemblies are unable to add new orientation views. We press the space bar, add a new view like normal, type in a name, hit enter. Once we hit enter the views are never saved. Has anyone ever run into this and why it is occuring?

  Currently on 2011. I can open parts and subassemblies of that assembly and can make new views.

    Brad,
    Did you ever find a solution to this? I have the exact same problem right now.

      Ryan, try setting the View Selector off and then try adding a new view orientation if that helps.

        I am using 2012 and do not believe I have the view selector function. It has a problem only on a couple of assemblies, but parts within the assembly work fine and I can add views no problem. I had another coworker open the assembly and he cannot add a custom view either.

        Well these can be file specific and I've verified it from the SW knowledge base. Please report to your reseller.
