Hi @Anonymous,

it is possible to create drawing views from Named Views (3D model views).

Animation views are not currently supported.

Hope this helps

Hi,

The best way to have a view other than predefined views is to create a named view in the Model Workspace. You orbit the view to the position you want, launch New Named View command from the context menu of Named Views folder. When you create a new drawing, the new named view will be shown in the Base View dialog.

Hi @Anonymous,

we are not able to reproduce this issue.

Is it possible to share a dataset?

You can either share the link to the Fusion design (see below) or Export the design to your local disk with (File -> Export) and then attach it to this post or send it to

lucia.casu@autodesk.com

Thanks,

Here's a screencast I made a while ago to show how to setup a named view to use in a 2d drawing. Make sure you save the model after setting up the named view.

If you're still having trouble can you share your design or make a screencast.
