Change parent view of a detail or section view

Is there a way to change the parent view of a section or detail view after the detail or section is created? I am using Inventor 2011.

Thank you.

If I'm reading this right you want to change the parent view orientation ...which would change the way the section looks...

Thank you for your quick replay mdavis. However, that is not what I am asking about.

 

When creating a detail or section view, the first thing one does is select the parent view of that detail or section. After placing the detail or section, the new view is derived from the parent view. You can move the detail or section cut around on a parent view and detail/section view will change to reflect the new location.

 

What I am asking is, can I change the parent view to another view on the drawing, such that the detail or section view is now derived from a completely different view than the original? I can find no way of doing this.

 

Thank you.
