To Change Plan Production Settings

Use the plan production tool settings in the View Frame Group Settings dialog box to change plan production tool settings before you create view frames or sheets.

For example, before using the Create View Frames wizard, you should specify the default choices you want to use for plan production object names (object name format) and label styles. This will set your defaults for plan production objects (view frame groups, view frames, and match lines).

  1. Do one of the following:
    • To edit settings for all plan production tool commands: In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, right-click the View Frame Group collection. Click Edit Feature Settings. Do the same for the View Frame and Match Line collections on the Settings tab.
    • To edit settings for a specific command: In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, expand the View Frame Group collection. Expand the Commands collection. Right-click the name of a command and click Edit Command Settings. For example, right-click the CreateSheets command and click Edit Command Settings.

    The Edit Feature Settings - View Frame Group dialog box is displayed.

  2. To specify the default sheet creation and view frame creation options, right-click either the CreateSheets or CreateViewFrames commands and click Edit Command Settings.
  3. To edit the default naming format for plan production tool objects (such as view frame groups, view frames, and match lines), expand the Default Name Format property group. Edit the Name Template settings for each item.
  4. Click Apply.
