To Share a View

Important: The shared view is created from the current view of the open file. Before uploading, make sure you are sharing only the information you want to be made public.

The following steps extract data from your current drawing and store the data in a secure cloud location. You can then share the link to that data with your colleagues and clients. This method enables you to share views of drawings, not the drawing file itself.

Note: It's important to remember that anyone who receives the link from you can forward the link to others.
