Missing Auxiliary View Label

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am using Inventor Professional 2015.  Why with this and previous versions do my view labels for auxiliary views sometiimes dissapear?  How do I get the label back when it dissapears?  I am tired creating auxiliary views and hoping the label will not dissapear.  I can find the auxiliary view in the model tree, but haven't figured out how to turn the label visibility back on.  Detailed views, projected views, section views do not have this issue.

Laslty, Autodesk, please stop making it more and more difficult to navigate your site and find this forum.  I am usually only here when I have questions and it seems every time it is more difficult to navigate Autodesk's site to find this forum.  Sometimes I give up and do a Bing or Google search.

Best Regards,

Mike

C'mon, I cannot be the only person that has this issue?

The obvious one is to make sure the label is turned on in the view dialog:

If you're on to of this, next thing to check would be around the drawing view as sometimes a cropped view will leave your view label well away from the actual view.

Next check out your view labal style & make sure it's all set to what you're expecting.

I'm not referring to the label containing the scale and view name that is below the auxiliary view.  I am referring to the phantom line with arrow head at each end and the letter identifying the view.  When you remove alignment of an auxiliary view to move it elswhere on the sheet or to another sheet this phantom line with arrow head and identifier letter at each end appears at the location the auxiliary view was taken from.  Sometimes it dissapears and you have no indicator as to where the auxiliary view was taken from.  When it dissapears, how do I get it back?

Somebody must also be experiencing this issue.

I tried to replicate this. Standard view with 2 different auxiliary views, both with alignment broken & then both aligned vertically.

Both times viewing direction arrow stayed where it was to start with.

Service packs up to date??

Don't know why it's getting turned off, but this should turn it back on:

Thank you sbixler.  That worked to turn the view indicator visibility back on.  I don't know why it occassionally gets shut off?  Plus, it makes no sense why "Definition in Base View" would control visibility of that indicator.  Or is "Definition in Base View" simply not the best description for what it does?

Makes sense to me.  You define the auxiliary view by a direction indicator in the base view, similar to defining a section view by it's cut line and direction.  So that's the definition, and it occurs in the base view.  The checkbox appears in the Display Options tab, so that definition can be displayed, or not.

If the auxiliary view is aligned with the base view and sitting in close proximity, I leave the definition turned off, since it clutters the drawing unnecessarily.

I had the same problem and the same solution. almost.

I turned on the button and then went to the page the alt view was on . . . Sucker was upside down!!   Tried several things but finally just did a rotate view and now everything is fine. LOL
