Attach a detail view boundary to its parent view

When you place a detail view, the boundary definition is not attached to the parent view. You can redefine the view by moving the boundary definition.

In the following image, the attached view definition moves with the model geometry when the model geometry is resized.

 

You can attach the boundary definition to a vertex in the parent view to associate it with a specific location.

1. Right-click the detail view definition, and then select Attach.
2. Select the attachment vertex.

NoteThe attached detail view definition cannot be moved and maintains its association to the specified vertex if the model file is updated.

 

TipTo redefine the attachment vertex the view definition, follow the same procedure used to create the initial attachment and select a new vertex.

 

You can remove the attachment of a detail view boundary to its parent view, so you can redefine the view.

1. Right-click the detail view boundary definition, and then select Attach.
2. Click anywhere in blank space within the drawing.
