Hi,
Good day everyone.
The default view created when dragging and dropping a part or assembly into a drawing is Standard 3-View.
I don’t want three appearances by default but I don’t know how to cancel it, if you remember correctly I was able to do this a few years ago but can’t remember now.

You need to delete those views from your drawing template.
It all depends how you set up the orientation dialog. You can choose to use multiple views or only one, and also which views to use.
There are more way to create a set of standard views than you can shake a stick at.
Hrm, I had never known you could set up the model view to create multiple views, I always just created one and then moved to the sides I wanted to create the others I required.
Everything so fast doesn’t give me a chance to choose.
Can you see the attached video.

Omur, rather then drag and drop from Windows Explorer as you do, use “Model Görünümü” at the top left and then change the settings there.
Hey Alex, thanks bro
yes I am doing this right now, I need only one view, there are 63 parts and it is pointless to delete all of them one by one, I think it should be adjustable.
This is what I use Omur. I create my first view with the front view and have “Start projected view automatically” checked, so that I can add views, if I do need. If I don’t, I just hit escape.
Cheers
I just realized, it automatically gives three views in drag and drop parasolid format. Everything is normal in part files and sheet metal.
Can you watch the attached video?
That’s rather odd Omur, I’m sorry I can’t help you anymore then this, it is not a technique I am familiar with.
I use View Palette.
I’m working with imported assembly and master sketch parts.
So they never orient the same.
Yes, but this means opening 63 drawings one by one, I prefer drag and drop from within the folder, I think it is faster.
but it doesn’t work in XT format. (second video)
If I need to edit and change the views, it’s not any faster for me.

I keep talking about templates with predefined views, and people don’t seem to like that for some reason. Have you tried using a template with predefined views?
hi Matt no I haven’t tried it, I’ve never used a template like this before. do you have an example?
Edit: I will try tomorrow

Yeah, they’re easy. From a blank drawing, go to Insert>Drawing View>Predefined. Place the view, then select which orientation you want to be shown in the view, and any other PropertyManager type info you want attached to the view (display style, high/draft quality, scale, imported dimensions, etc). You can also project views or add more views and align them by origin. Then save the drawing as a template to your template folders.
To populate the drawing, open a new drawing using that template and then drag the part onto the drawing, and it should populate the predefined views.
I really like having my pre-defined views in my template. I have removed the identifying information from one of our templates. It’s attached. Do note that it’s 3rd angle projection.
I use a predfined view for my front and iso views. The other two are projected from the front view.
The “Draft” watermark is controlled by a property. We have a toggle in our property tab builder to change it from “Draft” to empty when we are preparing to release the drawing. (I don’t remember if my former coworker, Michael Wade, came up with how to do that or got it from someone else.) Here’s what that toggle looks like.
Thank you very much everyone.
It automatically throws 3 views in the Parasolid file and I can’t prevent it. (no solution)
Additionally, matt’s advice has been a great alternative solution for me. (a light went on in my head)
Thank you very much CarrieIves for the template and I should mark his answer as Matt found the solution before (sorry.)
