Is there a way to delete a view "by name" instead of seleting the actual view (view frame) in the field of the drawing?
Here's why I ask:
1. I am trying to delete a Model from a drawing because no views within the drawing are based upon that Model.
2. When trying to delete the Model, ProE won't let me citing that the Model is referenced by one or more views. (Even though no visible views are referencing that Model.)
3. Although the error message in #2 above does not tell me which view(s) are referencing the Model that I am trying to delete, I suspect the view is named "new_view_15" because the drawing gives me this message when opening the file:
"The alignment reference geometry for the view new_view_15, on sheet -1, is missing."
4. Since there is no "new_view_15" visible on my drawing, I suspect it is the invisible view that is referencing the Model that I am trying to delete.
5. I am hoping that I can delete the bogus "new_view_15" and then delete the Model that I no longer need to reference.
Sooooooo..., does anyone know of a way to delete a view "by name" instead of by actually selecting the view in the field of the drawing?
TIA.

Brent,
if nothing helps, try to create a little Weblink or JLink program which lists You all views in a drawing. You might even add a link there to erase the selected view.
I have such a tool, but unfortunately it is linked to other libraries and thus not easy to share. However, it's quite straightforward...
Have you tried setting the model you want to delete as active and then set model display to "Hilite Cur"? That should put a rectangle around any views using the model.
