Moving general view moves its projection views also

Moving general view moves its projection views also

Moving general view moves its projection views also. Moving projections dont affect position of general view.

Currently this works but only in 1 direction (horizontal projections follow general view in vertical movement only and vertical projections in horizontal movement only).

Moving general view with its coresponding projections is waste of time. Each view must be moved separatly(unless in one direction allowed).

But you can already achieve that. Go into Properties of projection view, select Alignment category and disable option Align this view to other view. This way you'll be able to move projection view without regard to general view it was projected from.

Yea you can. But this is for other views intended. Projected views should move with its parent view by DEFAULT. Why waste users time by make him align them when in 99% cases you want them moved with parent view.

I think you lost me there. By default projection views are aligned to parent view (with Align to... option enabled) and move with it and if you uncheck this Align option you can move projection views freely.

Maybe we have some problem understanding each other, because right now I have an impression you'd like to have functionality that is already there ; because I understand it like you want to move projection views without attachement to general view and that's exactly what disabling Align this view... option does.

Nice GIF!  I like the idea, but I'd like it better if it were an option rather than a change in behavior.  Perhaps a means of "grouping" views so they move together.
