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:

This post will feature working with View Representations inside of Autodesk Inventor. I take a look at setting them up inside your assembly environment and some of the tips and tricks associated to using them within your drawing environment. There is a lot of confusion between using level of detail and view representations hopefully this makes the choice a little easier.

One of the difficult things about reusing Inventor components and their drawings has been managing model references. If a drawing is copied, by default it still references the original component it was detailing. In Inventor 2011 there is now an option to replace the model reference with a new file. This makes it much easier to copy a drawing to go along with its associated model.

In the past week I have been at two different customer sites and both were a little mad that when using sketches in a drawing view they did not update if something moved or the view was resized. All I heard is why can’t I associate this information? Well of course you can. You have the ability to show any unconsumed sketch from your model inside of your drawing views or while sketching inside of a view projecting some geometry from a model to add constraints/dimensions too. Lets take a look at doing this in each way.
