Tutorial: Preparing a Drawing for Plan and Profile Sheet Layout

This tutorial demonstrates how to set up a drawing before you publish plan and profile sheets.

Instead of having to manually create many viewports on layouts to show segments of alignments, you can create view frames that automatically capture predefined areas along an alignment. This automation saves you from making manual changes when your design data changes. After you select an alignment in your drawing, in just a few seconds you can create sheets that automatically display the desired data.

Note:

To set up a drawing for creating cross section sheets, see the Creating Section Views tutorial.
