Projection view placement in creo drawing

[AR_10002308]

I have a question related to projection views, usually we can project side views from parent view and place along the projected axis (move freely along the projected direction). Is there any ways to limit the movement of projected views, like i don't want projected view move opposite direction to the projected direction and placed other side of the main view. This will make wrong angle of projection.

Unfortunately, I don't believe there is a way to prevent a projection view, after being created, from being moved to the other side of the parent view.

logically it does not required to move opposite direction than the projected direction, PTC can improve this🙂

A projected view can be placed anywhere on a drawing and this provides maximum flexibility. The angle of projection is an arbitrary construct and is fully supported by the implementation of projection views in drawing mode.

Creo is capable of creating and placing views on a drawing for 1st and 3rd angle orthographic projection. It is possible to automate the creation and placement of these views with the current functionality. It is not clear in your argument that the current functionality is lacking in any way.

It seems that you are requesting that Creo act as a drawing checker to enforce the proper placement of projection views. I would classify this as a user competence issue and not a lack of functionality in the tool.

It is clear that creo can create projection views arbitrary based on the angle of projection defined. Of course flexibility is there for placing views. But why there is a option to place projected view in wrong manner. Logically projected view not required to be placed opposite to the projected direction. Then why creo has to allow that. If there is a constrain for projected view shouldn't move beyond the parent view, it prevents wrong placement of view.

This is not about checking views, the free movement of projected view beyond parent view doesn't add any value here. I feel it is not necessary.

Because Creo considers datums and hidden features when creating the view boundary (dictating the view center), a projected view may need to have it's center on the wrong side of the parent view center to fit on the page.

The center view here has it's center well past it's child view on the right side:

The view origin (defaults to view center) can be moved by clipping the view or specifying a reference in the view.  But that is an extra step that would need to be taken if there were movement constraints related to the view origin.

If you want to control the presentation of projected views (i.e. 1st angle or 3rd angle) then create a drawing template that places the views on the drawing in the required positions. If your start part has saved views, then you can control how they are placed on the drawing automatically. This would not prevent a user from manually moving them around, however.
