Drawings - Allow Multiple View Alignment

Drawings - Allow Multiple View Alignment

Currently (Inventor 2013), if I select a view to align to another view, I can only align it to one view, either Horizontally or Vertically, but what if I want to align that view to one Horizontally and then to another Vertically?

 

You can't do that for some strange reason still.

 

I'm not talking about Protjecting views, every now and then I need to create a drawing of different models on the same sheet and would like to have the views all lined up with one another. That's not possible yet for some odd reason.

This should be pretty easy to add. Am I missing something?

I have a drawing with over 90+ views and aligning them would be SUPER useful! Please give us this simple tool.

 

Note: Adobe Illustrator even has this tool. The Object/view could keep the alignment for later use or just have it as a tool to apply at that moment. But I also like Inventor's current menu, just add the extra alignment axis please!

In the mean while, I use this iLogic code and have a button as a shortcut on the ribbon (this is new in Inventor 2023 - very nice improvement!) But... the alignment won't update if the model is modified.

It would be nice to align a drawing view vertically with another view AND horizontally with another view.  Currently you only get one option. It would also be nice to have the option to select geometry in each view to align with.
