Question:

I created an assembly drawing of a column and it appeared horizontal, but I needed it vertical. I went into the Drawing Properties>View properties>Attribute Tab. I changed the option for the Coordinate System from local to model. When I do this my top view is above the column. I would like the top view to be to the left of the column How do I change this?

Answer: 

With the properties set with the Coordinate system model, you will need to Apply these settings from the Drawing properties dialog. Next, close the drawing and use the command Select part in model from the list of selection tools to select this column in the model. Right-click on the drawing and delete it from the Document manager. Right-click on the column in the model and use the command Create Drawing> Assembly drawing. This view positioning will only occur on the creation of the drawing.
