To prevent accidental movement of a drawing view, you can use the Lock drawing view position option that is available:
- As a check box on the General tab (Drawing View Properties dialog box) when you edit the drawing view properties.
 
- As a Lock button on the Drawing View Selection command bar, when you select the drawing view border.
 
A locked drawing view is indicated by the lock symbol displayed within the drawing view border when it is highlighted.
Locked drawing views still can be manipulated. For example, locking a drawing view does not prevent:
- Indirect movement of the locked drawing view by the Create Alignment or Maintain Alignment command.
 - Explicit movement using the Move command or by changing the Sheet number.
 - Copying and pasting or deleting the drawing view. (You can use the Undo command to reverse these operations.)
 - Dragging a drawing view derived from the locked view.
 - Rotating a locked drawing view.
