In order to synchronize the view drawing layers with the sheet view layers, the sheet view and view drawing must be linked. In legacy projects created with a previous version of the software, where a view drawing without model space views was placed on a sheet, this information does not exist and must be added by linking the sheet view to the view drawing.
When this happens, the sheet view icon on the sheet set tree displays a warning icon (
). The sheet view must be linked to the view drawing to establish the link and allow synchronization.
Note: In other cases where the link between a sheet view and its associated view drawing is broken, no warning icon will be displayed. In these cases, the sheet view must be recreated in the sheet by dragging the model space view or view drawing onto the sheet again. This creates a new sheet view with the correct connection. The connection between sheet view and view drawing or model space view can be broken by: renaming of the view drawing, renaming of the model space view, copying and pasting a sheet viewport, or creating a viewport by using the MVIEW command.
- On the Quick Access toolbar, click Project Navigator
. - On the Sheets tab, open the sheet containing the sheet view to be linked.
- Select the desired sheet view, and drag it onto a view drawing on the Views tab.
The sheet view node will be updated when you expand the containing sheet node, when you click Refresh
on the Project Navigator palette, or when the linking is complete.
