In ‘drawings’ I can’t get a view of the back of my project, which is a bank of drawers. I attached a couple photos. I tried isolating just the bank of drawers and it still thinks the back of the drawers is the front and I can’t get the drawer side to show up in Drawings.

I think you should make a new sheet of drawings,

- select the “+”
- Drawings
- select the body in your work place
- tap the green arrow
- In tne pop up “drawings preferences” tap continue
- You will got the front view, select the “front” text under the preview
- all possible views are displayed, select the “back”
- Then “+”

The back view will be in the center…

I really like your idea and better yet a dropdown that allows you to pick what part in the complete assembly design you want to put on the new drawing or if you would like to update the existing drawing with the newly added parts to the assembly that are on a existing drawing.

Thank you
