How to arrange several views in the correct relationship?

in Drawings
When I select different views of a part (eg. front. left. top), how can I achieve to place them in the correct relative position? It seems that I can put them anywhere on the paper...
I tried to draw a horizontal line with the line tool, but did not find a way to 'glue' two views to that line. And then I could not delete this line... wonder what the real purpose is.

Narayan_K Member Posts: 379 ✭✭✭@ hansrudolf, If you want make many views such as right, left , top or bottom,you ca use projected view option.If you are projecting a front view to right side then you can get left side view,instead of moving the cursor to right side if you move left side then you can get right side view.these views are horizontally aligned to front view.But it will allow you to move the view horizontally.Even it allows the view to move right side to left side without changing the view after defining.
You said it allows to move projected views any where in the paper.I think it allows to move left and right view in horizontally,top and bottom view in vertically.It maintains the horizontal and vertical alignment with respect to front view.You can remove the alignment by selecting the option "Break alignment" on right clicking particular view.similarly restore that alignment by selecting "Restore alignment" option.

nav Member Posts: 258 ✭✭✭✭Hi @hansrudolf both @gonzalo_chomon and @Narayan_K gave you the answer, however reading your post in detail it seems to me that you`re inserting all views using the "Drawings view" command in which case it happens what you are describing, you can position a view anywhere without aligning. The workflow is insert one view only using the "Drawing view" command and afterwards use the "Projected view" to create the rest of the views.
*On the first few seconds of the video what I think you`re doing bases on your post. You can also create standards views faster as mentioned by Gonzalo, just right click in a part an select the option create Drawing.

viru Member, Developers Posts: 619 ✭✭✭✭@hansrudolf ,User can create drawing from part studio and assembly studio also for that right click on required part from working window space or part tree. You can see the "create drawing of " option. By clicking on that you can create the drawing. For assembly you have to right click on assembly tab after that click on "create drawing of assembly" option. Using this method user get all view along with Isometric view in correct relationship automatically as shown in below video. This is quick and fast method for creating drawing of parts and assembly if they are modeled in same orientation as per drawing requirement.
