When you move a view frame, the view frame stays attached to the alignment it is associated with. If a view frame is moved off the alignment, and you want to reattach it to the alignment, be certain that OSNAPS are turned on, and you can drag the center grip towards the alignment. When you move a view frame that has a view frame label on it, the label moves with the view frame.
When moving a view frame, the match lines associated with the view frame stay positioned where they intersect the alignment, and do not move.
Note: If you need to move view frames after sheets have been created, instead of moving the view frames, you should make these changes to the sheet by editing the viewport. If you move view frames after sheets have been created, these changes will not be reflected in any sheets that have already been created from the view frames. In order to see those changes reflected in the sheets, you will have to recreate the sheets.
- In either model space, click the view frame you want to move or rotate.
- Click one of the following grips on the view frame:
- Center grip: Moves the view frame freely in any direction.
- Slider grip: Moves the view frame forward or backward along the alignment. If the view frame is moved off the alignment, the offset to the alignment is maintained. If the view frame remains parallel to the tangent to the alignment, the grips stay on alignment.
Note: If the alignment associated with a view frame has been deleted, the view frame remains, but the slider grip is no longer displayed, and the view frame can be moved in any direction.
- Rotation grip: Rotates the view frame about the center of the view frame.
Note: If the view frame is set to align with a north arrow block in the drawing, the rotation grip is not displayed.
- Drag the grip to move or rotate the view frame.
