Drawing View Tips

You can edit views placed in drawings to change settings such as scale,
hidden line display, thread display, and so on. If the edited view is a parent
view, changes to the view parameters are reflected in dependent views.
You can remove the association between a parent and a dependent view
by editing the dependent view. Then you can set independent scale, style,
and alignment for the dependent view.
You can move a view by clicking and dragging the red border. You can
move multiple views with a crossing selection window.
Most dependent views are created with an alignment (vertical, horizontal,
in position) to the parent. An aligned view can be moved only within its
constraints. If the parent view is moved, the aligned view moves to
maintain its alignment. You can manually break the alignment between
the child and parent view.
You can delete views that are no longer needed. If you delete a base view,
dependent projected and auxiliary views can be deleted or retained. Section
and detail views require a parent view and cannot be retained.

Crop
An operation that provides control over the view boundary in an ex-
isting drawing view. The clipping boundary can be a rectangle or
circle you create during the command, or a closed profile you select
from a sketch.
Slice
An operation that produces a zero-depth section from an existing
drawing view. You perform the Slice operation in a selected target
view. The slice lines are defined in a sketch associated to a different
view.
