Creation of individual DRW views and choosing the view reference plane

michael_perner

If I have a lot of parts in 3D Design the orientation of them is sometimes not perpendicular aligned to the origin Planes. That leads to views on the Drawing which you can not use for making a proper DRW. The view you can create is always oriented on the main planes and then on the DRW you get more ore less kind of unwanted isometric views for such parts. In the DRW you can change at least the angle of on degree of freedom but not for more. Any Idea what I can do? Is there a way I don't know? From Catia for example I know you can choose the view plain you prefer from 3D before the view creation. 
Thanks a lot!

@michael_perner one option is to rotate the view after placing it in the drawing.  See this document for example, in the "Rotated Views" branch.  The other option is to rotate the part using the "Transform -> Rotate" tool, which is also used in the part studio of this document.

And finally a third option is to create a named view in the model and use that in the drawing.
