Is it possible to reference a file coincident and that uses the clip volume of the file being referenced.
Saved views don't seem attach coincident. Even if I move a saved view to be coincident changing the clip volume of the saved view cause it to shift and no longer be coincident.

Unknown said:How exactly did you move the saved view to be coincident?
Using XY on the attache ref dialog.
Unknown said:When you say it shifted did the view physically shift or did the display inside of the view shift?
Both. The display inside the view was intentionally expanded to include more information. This caused the reference attachment to shift and no longer be aligned with the model.
Detailed information about how saved views, dynamic views and how these attachment work is pretty limited. Lots of videos showing how magic they all are but not much about coordinate spaces and how the relate.
Here is what I'm trying to achieve. I have a 3D model with a point cloud. I need to transfer information from the cloud to a 2D drawing. Basically trace some piping in a given elevation range. I want to have a clip volume of that area referenced to my 2D drawing.
Because its a large point cloud I want to work on an area, then adjust the clip volume to enclose a new area to trace. The problem is changed the clip volume shifts the view and I'm no longer aligned with my 2D model.
I tried a standard reference attachment however when you attach to a 2D file you have no control to show a clip volume or display depth clipping.

I am trying to picture what you are describing here without the use of a file or even screenshots. Are you adjusting the clip volume by adjusting the boundaries of your dynamic view, perhaps?
I have a point cloud that looks like this from the top view.
I use clip volume or display depth to get only the area I need.
I want attach it to 2D file so I can create this by "tracing" the above.
So the question is how do you attach a dynamic view or any other clip volume to a 2D file where they are and remain coincident.
A bit of follow up. I can attach coincident and use ref clip boundary for my x & y. What I need is to be able control/change the display depth ( Z ) of a 3D attachment to a 2D file. But front and back clip are disabled.
Two years ago I played around with attaching saved views. But I had the same problems:
I always wondered whether that behaviour was by design or a bug.
This behaviour is error-prone. Because when I use saved views as attachments it will happen rather often during my drawing process that I need to update my saved views for displayed levels changing or whatever....and when I update my saved view and didn't recognize that I also changed my camera with it (it could happen by accident) my sheet layout gets corrupted. And worse: I'm not aware of it, because with this workflow I don't have to open sheet files that often. Just for printing.

I think that any Ref attachment using a Saved View is placed based on the centre of the view. When the extent of the SV in the Drawing model is changed, the centre of the SV is moved to match the centre of the new extent of the Ref attachment clip boundary... I think.
