To Place a Model Space View Onto a Sheet

Use this procedure to place a model space view onto a sheet, creating a sheet view. A sheet can contain any number of sheet views.

When a model space view is placed on a sheet, it retains its own drawing scale and layer settings but uses the display configuration of the view drawing. The view direction of the sheet view is determined by the sheet.
