Hello,
I noticed that when I re-open a drawing previously saved in FreeCAD 0.19 made by TechDraw (I'm using FreeCAD_0.19.23756_Win-LPv12.1.6_vc14.x-x86-64), one of the views that I had moved is moved back to the default position.
In the attachment, you can see that the position of the right view is reset from being far away from the main view to being very close.
Is there any way to lock the position?
Thanks!

After you move the view as desired set the "Lock Position" parameter for the view to true.

Found it, perfect, thank you!
Re: FreeCAD 0.19 - TechDraw - view position reset
If you don't want to lock the view, you can also set "Auto Distribute" = false in the ProjGroup data tab. That way you can move the Views under the ProjGroup, but they don't jump around automatically any more.

This is an even better approach, thanks a lot! I have done that for my drawings. Is there a way for me to set this as the default behaviour? It makes more sense for my workflows
