Moving Drawing View - Don't Activate Sheet

Moving Drawing View - Don't Activate Sheet

When moving a view in an IDW from one sheet to another, it might be helpful to have a setting telling Inventor NOT to activate the sheet right away.  I often create multiple section views on a sheet in my frame details, and then move them to another sheet so they can be scaled up bigger.  If I am moving 8 section views, and Inventor wants to activate the sheet I am moving them to each time... that takes a lot of time and clicking.

I'd suggest doing this by means of a hotkey, CTRL comes to mind as we already use that to have Inventor NOT use automatic constraints/snaps in sketches and such...

Haven't tried this, but assuming from chris's post that it isn't possible to move multiple views at once... which would also help this issue if it was possible.

Looks like you can move multiple views at one time, to a single sheet.  That's good to know, I've never tried it before.  But I still would like a switch of some sort, as sometimes I may move 5 or 6 sections views from Sheet 3... to sheets 4, 5, & 6. (example).  Thanks for the comment and vote!
