Create duplicates of a single view to add that view to more than one sheet.
You can add one or more views of a building to a sheet, including floor plans, site plans, ceiling plans, elevations, 3D views, sections, detail views, drafting views, and rendered views. Each view can be placed on one sheet only. To add a particular view to multiple sheets in a project, create duplicate views, and place each one on a different sheet. To quickly open and identify the sheet a view is placed on, in the Project Browser, right-click the view name, and click Open Sheet.
You can apply standard settings to a view on a sheet by using a viewport type. For example, you can create a viewport type that does not display a view title on a sheet, or that uses a different color and weight for the line that separates the drawing from its title.
To add views to a sheet
- Open the sheet.
- To add a view to the sheet, use one of the following methods:
- In the Project Browser, expand the list of views, locate the view, and drag it onto the sheet.
- Click View tab
Sheet Composition panel
(Place View). In the Views dialog, select a view, and click Add View to Sheet.
- As you move the cursor over the sheet in the drawing area, a viewport for the selected view moves with it. Click to place the viewport in the desired location. Use the Align Views on a Sheet for precise placement on sheets. Use Snap to Sheet to snap between datums in the model viewport and annotations on the sheet.
- Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to add more views to the sheet, if desired.
- If needed, you can modify the individual views on the sheet as follows:
- To change the view title that displays on the sheet, double-click the title, and edit it.
- To move the view to a new location on the sheet, select its viewport, and drag it. You can align views to grid lines for precise placement.
