Sheet Layout Tools

Use sheet layout tools to help you reorganize views on sheets after you have placed views.

Move View Aligned to a Sheet

Views placed on a sheet can be moved to another sheet in the model. Select a view and then right-click to move the view. When the view is moved, it is aligned to the same position on the target sheet.

Select multiple views on a sheet to move more than one view at a time. Views placed on multiple sheets can be selected from the Project Browser and then moved to one target sheet.

When selecting a sheet, use the search tool in the dialog to help locate the target sheet.

For additional information, see Move View Aligned to Sheet.

Swap Views on a Sheet Enhancement

A dialog has been added which supports swapping to a view already placed on another sheet.

You can now swap a view on the current sheet to any compatible view in the model, whether placed or unplaced.

If the selected view is already on another sheet, a prompt asks if you want to remove the view from the other sheet and move it to the current sheet.

You can choose to always remove and replace view.

See Swap View on Sheet.

This feature was suggested by customers on the Ideas Forum and is described on the product road map.

Select Multiple Views to Remove from a Sheet

The Remove from Sheet command from the Project Browser now supports multiple selection.

If you want to remove two or more views, a confirmation dialog displays. You can choose to always remove multiple views.
