Hi,

I'm definitively losing my time since several weeks in manually arranging views in my drawing. I tried to write a macro but the view.position function doesn't seem to work. I found the SPR 682112 issue that sounds like my problem, but didn't succeed to find an alternate solution. Here is my code, does anyone can try it on any sheet with multiple views and check the result ? I'm running on SW2016 but can upgrade if necessary.

Before macro :

after running the macro :

The vpos array is really weird.

And if anyone has a solution ...
