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.
Unknown said:You would have to adjust the clip volume in 3d file and have this change applied to the attachment in 2d file.
I don't think that works either. At least I haven't been able to figure out how to do that.
David,
Could you verify whether this work for you?
If it does not can you post your files here:

In the attached file.
Attached the 3D model coincident (top view) to the 2D model so only the green square displays.
Then modify the attachment so only the blue square displays.
The yellow cylinder must remain aligns with the target in the 2D file.
