Editing Drawing Views
Using the Drawing View editing tools, you can easily modify drawing views after they’ve been created.
When you double-click on an existing view, the Drawing View Editor contextual ribbon tab is displayed.
Since child views inherit their properties from their parent, when you edit a parent view, the changes are
applied to the parent and all child views. If the selected view is a child view, you can change the scale and
style properties to differ from the parents. The changes you make are automatically applied to the selected
view and all child views that are dependent on the selected view. An option in the Edit panel of the
Drawing View Editor allows you to defer updates. Deferring updates lets you make multiple changes
within a single view computation for improved performance. If the selected view or any of its child views
are out of date, they are automatically updated as part of the editing process.
Selecting a drawing view displays a single multifunctional grip at its center. When you pass the cursor
over the grip, menu options enable you to stretch or rotate the view as well as break and repair alignment
of orthographic projected views.
