Aligning a Drawing View to a Model Edge

You can use an edge of the model to orient the view.

To align a drawing view to a model edge:

  1. Select a linear model edge in a drawing view.
  2. Click Tools > Align Drawing View > Horizontal Edge or Vertical Edge.
    The view rotates until the selected edge is oriented horizontally or vertically.

    If any views are projected from a view that you rotate this way, the projected views update to maintain their projection.
