Dear All,

I need a detail view with rectangular borders and the label on it in the parent view. The problem I am facing is that in the parent view the View Name is not coming when I use the Label on Parent type to Boundary type. In this case I have to manually place a view label on the parent views detail boundary, which I want to get done automatically with the previous clicks.
NX version used is 7.5.3.

Thanks in Advance!
Regards,
Ishant

Officially, standards-based Detail views use only circular boundaries. While it's possible in NX to create a Detailed view with a rectangular boundary, NX does not provide any automated labeling options since there are no standards by which to base this on.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

In that case I have to do this manually by using Note. Is there any other method of doing the same?

Since there's no standard as to where to place a label with respect to a rectangular detail view, I guess you can place the label wherever it looks good, to you. Perhaps it would be best to use a simple label...
