    Your application needs to perform the equivalent of RMB on a Drawing view > Move to View. This is a typical instance where a dedicated function exists.
    When you search the API documentation with *viewmove" you will find 

    ProDrawingViewMove

    and bonus: pt_examples will give you some code.

    This API is used to position view not to move annotation from one view to another

    That's partially right: this function enables to move a Drawing Note to a different view.  This is my understanding of the topic : "How to Move a drawing Note From one view To Another".

     

    Can you share a screencapture of the operation that you need to run with toolkit? or share some model (even a dumb one)?

     

    By chance do you mean the RMB > Move to plane operation?

    Example for a 2D note:

     

    • ProDtlnoteDataGet()
    • ProDtlnotedataAttachmentGet()
    • ProDtlattachGet --> Third arg is the current parent view
    • ProDtlattachSet() --> Supply args returned by ProDtlattachGet() except for the ProView (use the view to be the new parent of the annotation)
    • ProDtlnotedataAttachmentSet()
    • ProDtlnoteErase()
    • ProDtlnoteModify()
    • ProDtlnoteShow()

    Works pretty similar for symbols.

     

    Hope that helps.
