Creating a Derived View

A view derived from an existing view can be easily created by selecting an existing view and picking a location on the sheet to position the derived view.

To select a derived view from an edge, activate the curve filter and select only the desired edge (as it is highlighted) and pick a location to create the edge-based derived view (according to the position of the base view and the sheet standard).
