To Configure an Existing Project to Synchronize View Drawing Layers With Sheet View Layers

At any time during a project, you can activate synchronization of view drawing layers with sheet view layers. Selecting this option does not update existing sheet views instantly; the update occurs the next time they are opened or their external references are reloaded.

  1. At the bottom of the Project Navigator palette, click .
  2. In the Project Browser, select the currently active project, right-click, and click Project Properties.
  3. Under the Basic category, expand Drawing Settings.
  4. For Match Sheet View Layers to View, select Yes.
  5. Click OK to close the Project Properties dialog box, and click Close to close Project Browser.

    New sheet views you create will use the layer settings of the associated view drawing. Existing sheet views will be synchronized the next time they are opened or have their xrefs are reloaded.
