Attach Symbol to view

In MDT I used annotation to attach Rev Symbol blocks to view, so if I move
the view the symbol goes with it.
Is there an IV equvilant command to attach sketch symbols to views?

You have to main options
The symbols toolbutton will allow you to attach either with a leader or if you choose
without if you highlight a edge before placing the symbol it will be attached to the view.

Or you can select the view (preferably in the browser) and press S for sketch. This
sketch will be attached to the view.

Actually I am a little off on that. If you place it without a leader by highlighting a
edge, it will create a leader when you drag it away from the edge. You can rmb on it and
select delete leader though.

As an alternative, create a leader-less symbol INSIDE the dotted view
boundary you want to stick to. the association is made automagically.

OK, I got both methods to work, but you have to use the symbols toolbutton.
You cannot just RMB / insert the sketched symbol from the browser.

Thanks guys
