Enter the width to define.
The width is the distance across the drawing window as measured in drawing units. The more you zoom in, the smaller this number is.
Before you use the ADEDEFKEYVIEW command, use the DISTANCE command to measure the width of the window at the zoom magnifications you want to define.
Specify the layers to display when the drawing window displays a greater width than specified in the Width box. Separate layer names with a comma.

Display a list of layers in the active drawings. Select the layers to display at the specified window width.
Whenever the number of drawing units displayed in the drawing window becomes greater than a defined key view condition, AutoCAD Map 3D displays the layers specified for that condition.
When you use key views, AutoCAD Map 3D previews the specified layers from source drawings. Objects already in the current drawing are not affected by key views.
