Retain Custom View Orientation on IDW when model updates.
Can we please get this fixed? We spend a fair bit of time double clicking on existing views to manually re-select a face or plane to keep the view true on the drawing after a model update.
Can we PLEASE make it to where if you use a custom view orientation on a drawing, and select a face or a plane as the "look at" face, then inventor will retain that selection and update the drawing if the face or plane changes angle?
We use a master model and cofigure it for custom jobs so the face or plane's angle changes.
Attached are two images showing what I have to do everytime this happens. I swear I spend 20% of my time editing the view, selecting the face, delete the dimensions, and re-apply new dimensions.
Has anybody else run accross this? Can someone from Autodesk chime in on this?

+1 on this, I have only recently realised what a poor job Inventor does of regenerating custom view orientations when geometry changes.
Like other commenters here, my design is a master model that has had ~200 parts drawn, checked and approved. The goemetry of the parts is complex (full skeleton derived, high efficiency mining dump body with complex sheet metal parts (Rolled, Pressed, Conical, tapered, bevelled, etc)), That master model is then used as the base for a Copy Design to produce a applications or sizes. So far I have produced 3 applications of the design and have just gotten through checking and correcting the second batch of drawings. I spent a lot of time on this second batch adding work planes to parts to use as a "Look At" reference on custom drawing views (the jury's out on whether that will help when it is used as the base for a Copy Design).
Other CAD software that I've used such as Creo (Geometry References) or SolidWorks (Relative View/Relative to Model View) would do a much better job of retaining the custom view orientations from the master to the copy (unless the reference surfaces or edges have been erased, replaced or are no longer normal to each other). Inventor however does a terrible job of it meaning that every view needs to be checked to ensure that it is still orientated correctly, this is especially important for NC cutting profile views that must be flat to the paper-space.
