      The Duplicate tool copies the view. The Duplicate with Detailing tool copies the view and includes view-specific elements, such as detail components and dimensions.

      The duplicate view displays in the drawing area. In the Project Browser, the duplicate view is named <View Name> Copy 1.

    2. Rename the duplicate view: in the Project Browser, right-click the duplicate view, and click Rename. Enter a new name, and click OK.
  2. Add a crop region:
    1. On the View Control Bar, click (Show Crop Region).

      In the drawing area, the crop region appears as a box around the view.

    2. To crop the view to show the desired portion, click the crop region box, and drag the handles.

      You may need to zoom out to see the borders and handles of the crop region box.

  3. Export the 2D view defined by the crop box:
    • Click Export, and select an export option. See Export.
