Frank brings craft up into view (8)
I believe the answer is:
straight
'frank' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'craft up into view' is the wordplay.
'craft' becomes 'art' (I've seen this before).
'up' says the letters should be written backwards (in down clue: letters go upwards).
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'view' becomes 'sight' ('sight' can be a synonym of 'view').
'art' in reverse letter order is 'tra'.
'tra' put inside 'sight' is 'STRAIGHT'.
'brings' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for straight that I've seen before include "square" , "Poker hand of 5 consecutive cards" , "Good poker hand" , "Without curve or bend" , "Frank" .)
