Align Views
Alignment is the constraint relationship between a dependent view and its
parent view. An aligned view can be moved only within its constraints. If the
parent view is moved, the aligned view moves to maintain its alignment.
Most dependent views are created with an alignment, but you can add, change,
or remove alignment relationships. There are four possible alignment
relationships between a dependent view and its parent view: Vertical,
Horizontal, In Position and Break.
TRY IT: Align views
1 Select the projected view in zone B2, right-click, and then select Alignment
➤ Break.
2 Select this view again, right-click, and then select Alignment ➤
Horizontal.
3 Select the section view as the base view.
4 Select the section view, and then drag the view vertically to the location
previously occupied by the front view.
The right-side view remains aligned to the section view. A view direction
indicator is added to the original, projecting base view, and a view label
is added to the projected view. It ensures that an indication of the
projected view orientation and view direction is retained, regardless of
where you move the view.
5 Right-click the isometric view and select Alignment ➤ In Position.
6 Select the section view as the base view.
7 Move the section view, and notice that the isometric view now moves
with the section view.
