Named position to specific detail viewport

Dear Mc Neel Team,

As it has already been asked in the past, a huge and great improvement would be the ability to affect named position or snapshot to specific detail viewport in order to be able to show different state, configuration of a model in the same layout… for V7??

Best Regards

Hello mcneel team, I post to up this post because I would like to know if named position inside a specific viewport could be done in v9?…could be a very good tool for instructions and mounting process of products…actually by trick is a copy block of every thing with new positions of block to activate the good block in the good view…thanks for your help and knowledge

Hi Antoine -

This feature request is on our list as RH-62730 Layout: Detail with exploded view
I don’t see this happening any time soon.

That is sad news :melting_face:

Sad news, indeed. When I first learned that named positions were global across all viewports, I was very surprised. Seems like one of primary use cases of this functionality would be for illustration/documentation purposes. Maybe someday…

Hi everyone, hope you find this useful.

I manage to do something that’s helping me a bit. I do an incremental save and insert de past document, in another snapshot as a embedded and linked block to the new document.

Then I place each one in a different Layout, and so far it seems to work and it doesn’t duplicate the block instance count for the pieces.

My best!
