I would like to know how is everyone aligning their projection views now because when you add a new view to the drawing it just adds it to the drawing and it is not a projection. I think this is a very important command to have at the very least be able to snap the view to a centerline and then be able to move it.

Thanks for you input

This is something that I hope will get implemented.  
Basically snapping for most everything. Views, dimensions, etc.

To keep all in line.

I am posting this again if anyone has any Drafting experience you would know that aligning projections views is very important I hope that Shapr3D is looking into coming up with some sort of way to align projection views in order to make detailing correct.
