How do I stop Inventor Auto selecting the last model i had open as the base view to add in a drawing

[GPHFJPJS]

Afternoon all, 

When I am placing View reps onto a Drawing sheet in Inventor, each time I place a new base view, Inventor will automatically Try to select/ add the last model I had open as the new base view. (Which isn't normally a problem).

However as I work with large General arrangement models of whole site layouts, this forces me to wait for inventor to finish processing the GA view before I can use the search option to select the model I actually want to show. IE single parts.   

I would normally just open a small part first before I start detailing on the Drawing so I don't have this problem, but if there is a way to turn this option off it would save me time. 

Cheers.

What version of Inventor are you using?

I might suggest a different workflow that could help with this.  Instead of creating a new drawing from template, then placing a base view, do this:

• in the model you wish to create a drawing for, orient the model to your desired base view
• right click on the name of the part/assembly at the top of the browser and select Create Drawing View
• Inventor will present the Templates folder for you to choose the template you wish to use; pick one
• You will have the desired base view of the desired model on your cursor to place as you wish into the drawing format you have chosen

Hi! This behavior was added a while ago to enhance drafting productivity. The only way to stop it is to open another drawing (a drawing view cannot be created from a drawing file).

Many thanks!

currently using 2022, but this will change in a few months. 

Not sure this would work as We do multiple sheet drawings, and this would require me to open each model as i place the view. (Have used this feature before, but found it was slower for me. )
