To Create a Detail in a New Drawing

Use this procedure to place a callout that creates a detail in a new project view drawing.

You can place each detail in its own detail drawing. The Detail View template set in the project is used to create the new drawing.

When you create a new drawing for a detail, it contains by default the same constructs, levels, and divisions as the drawing from which the detail is taken. You can change that assignment, if necessary.

  1. On the Quick Access toolbar, click Project Navigator.
  2. Click the Views tab.
  3. Select the view drawing in which you want to place a detail callout, right-click, and click Open.
  4. On the Tool Palettes, click (Properties), and click Document.
  5. Click the Callouts palette.
  6. Select a detail callout tool:
    If you want to… Then…
    create a callout with a detail boundary and a detail mark select one of the detail boundary tools. AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset provides tools for circular, rectangular, and freeform detail boundaries.
    create a callout without a detail boundary select one of the detail mark tools. AutoCAD Architecture 2022 toolset provides tools for regular detail marks, detail marks with a tail, and detail marks with a sheet number attribute.

    Alternatively, you can click Annotate tab Callouts panel Detail Boundary drop-down for callouts with a detail boundary, or Annotate tab Callouts panel Detail drop-down for callouts without a detail boundary.

  7. If you selected a detail boundary tool, specify the extents of the detail boundary.
  8. Specify the detail leader line, and press Enter.
  9. Under New Model Space View Name, enter a name for the new model space view containing the detail.
  10. If necessary, select Generate Section/Elevation.
  11. If you want to add a title mark to the new model space view, select Place Titlemark.
  12. Select the scale for the model space view.
  13. Click New View Drawing.
  14. Define the properties of the new view drawing.
  15. Click Finish.

    Once the model space view has been placed in the new view drawing, the field placeholders in the callout change to a question mark. To resolve them, the model space view needs to be placed onto a sheet.
