For Composed drawings, views that are too small to display the associated volume or are larger than the volume are automatically resized to fit unless the view is set to Fit to Scale or is managed by a region. The view size grows or shrinks from the center of the view and view proportions may change after the resize. The drawing must be saved to make the resize of the view permanent.

You cannot crop a composed drawing view that is scaled. Views that are set to Fit to Scale can be cropped.

The following examples are common workflows that are affected by the automatic resizing behavior of the composed drawing view.

Overlapping Volumes Modification

If you manually shift the sides of an associated volume such that the new volume location overlaps a portion of the old volume, the associated view resizes to mirror the volume changes. You must update the drawing or drawing view for these changes to take place. Manually-placed graphics and labels stay in the correct location on the drawing after the volume size modification and view update.

Non-overlapping Volumes Modification

If you manually shift the sides of an associated volume, or move the volume, such that the new volume location does not overlap a portion of the old volume, the associated view resizes symmetrically around the previous center point of the view. If the volume is moved to a new location, the view does not resize. In either case, the view contents are updated with the volume contents. You must update the drawing or drawing view for these changes to take place.

View to Volume Association

If you associate a view to a volume with the Associate Objects to View Command, the view resizes symmetrically around the center point to match the volume size. The view resizes to match a larger or smaller volume.

View Scale Modification

If you change the view scale on the Drawing View Properties Dialog, the view resizes symmetrically around the center point to accommodate the new scale. Depending on the scale change, the view grows or shrinks in size. You do not need to update the view to see these changes, but in order to populate any new objects that are inside the view, an update is required.

View Look Direction Modification

If you change the Look Direction from the Drawing View Properties Dialog, the view resizes symmetrically around the center point to match the volume size according to the new look direction. You do not need to update the view to see these changes, but in order to populate any new objects that are inside the view, an update is required.

View Direction Coordinate System Modification

If you change the View Direction Coordinate System in the Drawing View Properties Dialog, the view resizes symmetrically around the center point to accommodate the new view direction coordinate system. You do not need to update the view to see these changes, but in order to populate any new objects that are inside the view, an update is required.

If the new coordinate system has the same orientation as the previous coordinate system, the view does not resize.
