Drawing view alignment ensures that when a source drawing view, or any of the views created from it, is moved or scaled, that the position of all related views is adjusted to maintain a horizontal/vertical or parallel/perpendicular relationship with the manipulated view. The view alignment relationship is indicated by a dashed line.
New principal, auxiliary, and section drawing views are automatically aligned to the source part view used to create them. However, when views are created from the 2D model space, you need to create and define their alignment position.
You can use the Create Alignment command on the shortcut menu to create alignment between drawing views based on the centers of the views or on selected keypoints within them. You can use the Delete Alignment command to delete an alignment you have created when it is no longer needed.
There may be times you want a view to be unaligned temporarily, for example:
To scale a view independently of other views
To move the view to another sheet.
Unaligned views are noted by a jog indicator.
If you need to move a drawing view to another sheet or scale the view, you can toggle the alignment relationship off with the Maintain Alignment command on the shortcut menu. After you move or scale the part view, you can again click Maintain Alignment on the shortcut menu to re-establish the alignment constraint.
