aligning 2 views in 2 dimensions, min/max overlay

    I want to create a 10x min/max overlay for checking a part on a
    comparator. SW doesn't have a direct method a align views along two
    axes. I have the min/max geometry saved in different configs. in the
    same part file. I want to import these into a drawing and then align
    the views on top of one another.

    The only workaround I have found is to first align one section
    horizonally to another section, break the alignment and align
    vertically to the same view. Then lock the view position. This is
    pretty cumbersome.

    I also tried to insert mulitple bodies into one part file or one
    assembly file and section that view, but when I sectioned the composite
    part it doesn't always display the overlay correctly. Sometimes the
    max config. is superimposed over the min body, masking the min config.

    Any ideas?
