To Change the Properties of a Model Space View

Use this procedure to change the properties of a model space view.

Note: If you change the properties of a model space view, instances of that view that have been placed as sheet views on a sheet are not updated. Only new instances of the model space view will have the new settings. For example, if a model space view named West Stairs is defined with a scale of 1/8” = 1’-0”, it is placed with that scale on a sheet. If the scale is later changed to 1/4” = 1’-0”, the new scale is not updated on existing sheet views, but will be used for new sheet views.
