Use this page of the wizard to select the type of sheets to create, a template for the sheets, and to determine how view frames are aligned.
Sheet Settings
Select the type of sheet to generate:
- Plan And Profile
-
This is the default choice. The sheets that will be created will contain both a plan view and a profile view.
- Plan(s) Only
-
The sheets that will be created will contain plan views, but no profile views.
- Profile(s) Only
-
The sheets that will be created will contain profile views, but no plan views.
- Template For Sheet
-
You must select the template to be used by the sheet. Browse to a template (.dwt) or enter a valid path to specify the template to be used. When you click
to browse to a template, the Select Layout as Sheet Template dialog box is displayed.
If the Create View Frames button is disabled on this page of the wizard, it may be because a template has not yet been selected in this field.
Note: If you select a template that does not contain appropriately defined viewports, a message is displayed on the Select Layout As Sheet Template dialog box indicating that no layouts contain the necessary viewports for the selected sheet type. For more information about setting up a template, see To Set Up Drawing Templates for Plan Production.
View Frame Placement
Specifies the orientation and placement of the view frame.
- Along Alignment
-
When this option is selected, the view frames will be aligned following along the alignment. Typically, this is the preferred method for making the most efficient use of paper when plotting.
- Rotate To North
-
When this option is selected, the view frames will be rotated according to the north orientation in the drawing.
- Set The First View Frame Before The Start Of The Alignment By
-
This option allows you to set a distance by which the first view frame is offset from the location on the alignment where it begins. Entering a distance value here adds a margin so that the start location of your view frame does not hide important drawing data that you want to display. If you leave this field blank, some drawing data near the start of the first view frame may be too close to the start of the view frame.
