Autodesk shows once again that they listen to the users of their product.
You can change the orientation of existing drawing views inside of Inventor 2012.
Double-click a view, and in the Drawing View dialog box, click Change View Orientation
. Then, in the Custom View window, specify a new view plane.
When you change the orientation of a base view, all dependent child views inherit the new orientation.
Let’s take a look:
