resizing drawing view window

[gordow]

OK, I can't figure this out. I have an assembly that is too large to fit on a C-size drawing in 1:1 scale, but I need to print out a portion of the assembly 1:1 so a test fit could be done. I inserted a base view (top orientation) into a C-size sheet at 1:1 scale to do so. The view overlapped the edges of the drawing, but I got what I needed when I printed it out.

I later found that I needed a bit more of the assembly in the view (still at 1:1), so I changed the sheet size to D-size. I found that only the portion of the view that was in the original C-size drawing view window was in the view as I expected it would be. So I figured I could just insert another base view to get the entire assembly again, but I just get the portion of the assembly that was on the sheet of my original C-size drawing. As the view was placed, the entire assembly was shown, but after placing the view only the portion of the assembly in the original C-size drawing that was on the sheet was in the view. Next I tried a NEW drawing and inserting a base view, but I still only get the portion from the original C-size drawing. (This hints that there is something in the assembly that is controlling this.) I then just tried inserting a 1:4 scale view to get the entire assembly on the sheet but still only get the portion of the assembly in the original C-size drawing. I have also tried inserting a custom view and a projection from a view and still get the original drawing view window in the C-size drawing.

How can I get the full top orientation back in the view window? Can the view window be resized?

Thanks for any help or suggetions.

Start a new sheet, place view at 1:1, select the crop view to isolate the
section you want

Didn't work. When I place the view 1:1 I don't get the entire assembly in the view, only the portion that was on my original sheet. I did not crop the view in my original attempt and it appears that it was cropped when it was printed and now I can't "un-crop" it.

check your drawing settings:

Thanks for your help, Blair. These didn't quite do the trick, but noticed the "Margin" box under the "Model State" tab in the Drawing View dialog box. After a careful read of the Help for this tab, I found that increasing this number allowed more of the assembly to be seen in the view. The number in the box was about 2.79. I increased it to 100 and got my entire assembly. I am not sure when/how this number gets set or why it sticks to subsequent view insertions, but changing it fixed my problem--at least the one I was having with the views.

Thanks again.

Hi Gordow,

It seems, parts which are missing in the view are marked as Reference parts in the assembly. Please double check, this is by purpose. If yes, the only solution is to make the drawing view margin big enough to get whole assembly in (as already discussed).

Hope this helps,

I just noticed that this post is five years old, I don't think you should expect an answer.. 😄

Have a nice day..
