i have a drawing with dimension a lot, and i dont wanna have a drawing with thousand dimension in one view.
then I need the same view in different sheets, but is very difficult to put it in the same place... and when translate my drawing on PDF format this desfase is very evident.
Eduardo,
Instead of copying just the one view you can copy the sheet. This will make sure each sheet is exactly the same. You can then just delete the dimensions and views you don't need. I would use detail views of specific areas of the original view though. Several sheets with the same view and different areas dimensioned could get confusing.
Cheers,

Hi,
This is a great technique which works well, at one point in time.
But if I want to add an additional view later on, on two different sheets, how can I make those drawing views in exactly the same spot on both sheets?
This is something that has plagued me for years - I hate when scrolling through a PDF of views and seeing the model move a little bit from sheet to sheet! There must be a way to do this...
May be a macro can be made to copy and paste view in same location on other sheets.
So no functionality currently exists in SolidWorks to align two views in the same spot on different sheets?
Yes it do exits of copying the view in same location on other sheet(s). The idea of macro was to work it more faster.
How do you copy the view into the exact same location in the next sheet, without copying the entire sheet? Copying the view and then pasting it ends up pasting it in some random location (probably related to the mouse cursor position).
Functionally it would be far more helpful to have some way to align views on two different sheets to the same position.
