drawing view placements?
i have a drawing view that i am placing in a constant point in a sheet. the view size changes so i use the view.getoutline (obtains the bounding box size of the view) to scale my view so it always fits in the same area. the problem comes that when you scale a drawing, solidworks randomly puts it where ever it wants on the sheet. so i am using the view.position to place the origin of the drawing view (part origin from what i can tell) to the point i want in the middle of the sheet. my x corrdinate works fine but the y corrdinate keeps moving all over the freaking screen, even when setting it, it does not consistantly stay in the same place! it is as bad as the scale feature. has anyone had any experience with this? if so, got a fix or suggestion?
also, i have a note that needs to stay with drawing but for some reason, its realative position on the view gets all funky messed up with the scale and move. all the other dimentions / notes on the view come with it, but these 2 do not...
any ideas would be very helpful!

well, i have figured out the note problem, added some leaders and they follow nicely now.
the y coordinate is still funky. it seems like that when i set the y cord it will randomly chose where to place the drawing. i do not understand why it is doing this... i would like it to always place it in the same spot. here is the code that i am running to make do this, maybe someone can help me with it.
thanks
