when I do drawing for an assembly, sometimes the box around it is too big, and why it doesn't size automatic to the assembly borders ?
thanks

there is nothing and it is really bothering me in the drawing since that empty space is overlapping on other views in the drawing.
thanks
A pretty easy solution is to draw a box the size you want the boundary and then form a crop view.
it seems good idea Jamil but I am wondering why this problem is happening and if it can solved without tricks.
thanks
I have found that if I have saved a sub-assembly in its exploded view state, the bounding box in the assembly it is used in will be as large as the bounding box needed to surround the sub-assembly's exploded state - even if the sub-assembly is not exploded in the current assembly.
So, I try to remember to save my assemblies in their collapsed state.
Hope this helps.
thanks Melissa but I don't have an exploded view, this problem happens not for all files though.
It generally does size to fit the assembly fairly closely, although I agree that it would be nice to be able to size them manually. Do you perhaps have a sketch that extends past the assembly components, even if it's hidden? Or maybe a sketch with an infinite length construction line? I don't use them myself, but I understand they can sometimes cause issues. Another possibility is a small part that's off in space. With your assembly open, if you go to Shift+C to center the model on your monitor, does it fill the screen, or is it off to one side?
