Model to sheet, Aux views (#2178)

I've tried with two different models, one created in Viacad by me, one imported from a supplier's step file, on two different machines.
Each time I try to add an aux view of the "back" of the model, I get a repeat view of the front?
It doesn't seem to matter which way I unfold the box, i.e. try to unfold from the right side of the right side view, or from the "top" of the top view (as in the attached example, view BB which looks just like the front view).
Adding the left side view "AA" seemed to work fine?
Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi, Jt
Which direction are your arrows pointing? Did you try reversing the view arrows double click (object info box opens) or select the arrow and rt click object info) on the view line and check or uncheck the flip direction box. Be sure to hit the regen view button to make sure the views regen.
Are you just looking for the back view? Or are you using the aux view for a reason?
When you are unfolding the box do you mean you are holding ctrl/option key and dragging a view from an existing view?
Also if you click and activate any draw view you can rt click in the little red box in the upper left of the view and pick change the view ...to any view you want including custom views.
If you already know these sorry for repeating...

Jason,
Thanks!
I did not realize that "change view" was one of the options until I looked after reading your post.
"Change view" doesn't seem to do anything when you try to change an already drawn aux view. I have the program chugging along changing my front view to back.
See my "1 core thread", I should know if it worked in a few hours...

Jason pretty much covered it, but I thought I would add a movie showing how to unfold a view.

http://forum.punchcad.com/showthread.php?p=9706#post9706 The time it takes depends on the detail (#edges & faces) in your model as it does a hidden line calculation. Your model looks like quite a bit of detail:)
