Step 1
Before start your drawing, check your configuration settings, and make sure that ‘make_aux_view_notes’ is set to ‘yes’. (Note that default settings for this config option is ‘No’). To access config options follow 'Tools --> Options '![Auxiliary-View-In-ProE-Creo-Config-Option-make_aux_view_notes[3] Auxiliary-View-In-ProE-Creo-Config-Option-make_aux_view_notes[3]](http://lh5.ggpht.com/-IYOgzMPeHt0/UHBWTFvYo9I/AAAAAAAAALI/4ZC8GJxd5t0/Auxiliary-View-In-ProE-Creo-Config-Option-make_aux_view_notes%25255B3%25255D_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800)
Step 2
Select ‘Auxiliary …’ from the ‘Layout’ tab, and select one reference (Edge or Axis or Datum Plane) to make projection with respect to the selected reference.![Auxiliary-View-In-ProE-Creo-Ribbon-Icon[7] Auxiliary-View-In-ProE-Creo-Ribbon-Icon[7]](http://lh6.ggpht.com/-vW9B070KfEo/UHBWXgbDGtI/AAAAAAAAALY/fzgXgCTLOpk/Auxiliary-View-In-ProE-Creo-Ribbon-Icon%25255B7%25255D_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800)
Step 3
Now double click the Auxiliary View and set ‘View Name’, ‘Projection Arrows’ settings to complete the 'Auxiliary View' creation.![Auxiliary-View-In-ProE-Creo-Settings-Projection-Arrows-And-View-Name[2] Auxiliary-View-In-ProE-Creo-Settings-Projection-Arrows-And-View-Name[2]](http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Fska6jKIGHU/UHBWb3xpqlI/AAAAAAAAALo/CfPmU2vrv3A/Auxiliary-View-In-ProE-Creo-Settings-Projection-Arrows-And-View-Name%25255B2%25255D_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800)
