Changes made to one part of a project frequently influence other parts of the project. Listed below are the effects of some of the common changes you can make to a view.
- Adding a new view drawing: When you create a new view drawing, all or most of the referenced constructs should be present. For easy selection of constructs, place them in categories.
- Changing the view name and category (location): A view drawing has a number of constructs referenced into it, and the view drawing itself can be referenced into a sheet. Therefore, any name and location changes to a view drawing need to be updated throughout the project. To update the path, repath the project.
- Changing the content of a view drawing: Any changes made to the content of a view are also made to the sheets that reference that view. If you have created model space views and sheet views from the view drawings, they will be updated to reflect the changed content of the view drawing.
- Deleting a view drawing: If you delete a view drawing that has been referenced into a sheet, that sheet now has missing references. Check to see if the view is still used in a sheet before deleting it. If you delete a view drawing, all model space views associated with that view are deleted also. Any sheet views that reference these views will have missing references.
- Changing a model space view: Changes made to the boundaries or scale of an existing model space view are not updated in existing sheet views derived from this view. To change the sheet view, delete it and re-create it from the updated model space view. If the content of a model space view changes due to changes in the view drawing, these changes will be updated in the sheet view.
- Deleting a model space view: When you delete a model space view, all sheet views created from it remain intact. For definition, sheet views need only the building model in the view drawing.
