Placement of View Title

[leahmbell]

Hi,

I'm editing our view titles for our details and I'm at a bit of a loss for getting the placement correct.

I have reference planes in the drafting view so I can align them perfectly on the sheets.

I'll load in the new view title and apply it to a drafting view on a sheet. its about an inch below the drafting view and where I need the view title, so I'll go back and forth and move the elements in the view title family to be in the correct place when in the sheet. 

Then I'll load in another detail apply the view title and it will be about an inch below the drafting view again, while the first detail is in the correct place. If I go to edit the view title family again and move it up, the first detail view title will be over the drafting view. 

The placement of view titles seems to be random. I have tried dragging the view on the sheet, using the place view, I have deleted off all the details from the sheet and started over and it doesn't matter what method I use it is never in the correct place/same place.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I think it is a losing game. Just adjust the title after placing the view and align other title to the first one using the guideline. I usually move the next title right one top of the first one and move it back using snap on sheet's grid line.

Wow, this seems like an epic oversight...

I've always had issue with this but just thought I was missing something since I didn't have enough time at the moment to dig into it.

Not sure if it is an oversight as there are too many conditions. Drafting views don't have a view crop; model views may or may not have view crop and annotation crops. How would a view title family know where to locate itself in such conditions?

I suppose, but it all could be mitigated by allowing reference lines that are drawn in the view title family to translate into the project. Then you can use those to align in the sheet view, like you can with a generic annotation. Or as you mentioned have the ability to have a view crop in the drafting view...

Or the nature of the beast. Call it what you want but setting up complex sheets is not easy.
