Loock veiw in drawing

[Thomas_Savage]

Hello,

Is there a way a can lock a view in a drawing? So the view does not move?

I have added an attachment. I want to be able to move the tooling with out my views of the sheet metal parts moving.

Thanks,

Thomas.

Hello Savage,

can't you use an overlay view?

also,

with iLogic you can position all the views,

from the default snippets in iLogic, Drawing, "View From Corner"

ActiveSheet.View("VIEW1").SetSpacingToCorner(distanceX, distanceY, SheetCorner.TopLeft)

 give in the view name,

X and Y distance,

and the corner you want.

after running the rule, the view will be positioned

Hello,

Thanks for your reply. I guess you mean overlay to show the different stages of bending? I could do that, but it is just a bit clearer for the press brake operators doing it in a sequence like that.

And with the ilogic code. I have used that before. It places the view in a position. But still doesn't lock it. I can still move it after I have wrote the code.

I don't know of any lock, to lock the view.

With the code you will set the position, and you could set an eventrigger, "before save" so that every time you save your drawing, the views will be placed in the right position.

I ended up using an event trigger for drawing view change.

So when I moved the view, it updates and places the view back to where the ilogic rule places it.

Thanks for replying.

Yes Sir. It works. But its not locking the position. You can still move views.

thanks

Hello jigneshah25,

As far as I know, there is no way to lock the view.

Using the iLogic code will only position the view to a location.

After that, you can still move it freely.

If you would use this code with the "before save" event trigger, every time you save, the view will be positioned.

You could use the filter for the drawing and de-select the Views.

This disables the possibility of moving the views manually!
