To Connect View Blocks to View Directions

Use this procedure to connect view blocks to the view directions of individual display representations.

1. Click Manage tabStyle & Display panelStyle Manager.
2. Expand Multi-Purpose Objects, and expand Multi-View Block Definitions.
   Note: Alternatively, you can select a multi-view block in the drawing, and click Multi-View Block tabGeneral panelEdit Style drop-downMulti-View Block Definitions.
3. Select the multi-view block definition to which you want to connect view blocks.
4. Click the View Blocks tab.
5. Select the display representation to which to connect view blocks.

   Six display representations are available for multi-view blocks:

   Display Representation	Purpose
   General	Plan views, Section views, and Sketch views
   Model	Model views
   Plan	Plan views
   Plan High Detail	Plan High Detail views
   Plan Low Detail	Plan Low Detail views
   Reflected	Reflected views

6. Click Add, and select a view block for the display representation.
7. Click OK.
8. Select the view directions that correspond to the selected block.

   For example, to connect the view block to the left side of the multi-view block definition, select Left and clear all other directions.

   You can connect a view block to multiple view directions. For example, if you have a symmetrical element that looks identical from left and right, you can select Left and Right.

   The Other view direction represents a view that displays the block three-dimensionally. It is used for non-orthogonal (isometric or perspective) views of the custom object.

   To ensure that the multi-view block is visible in all views, assign a block to every view direction.

9. To specify view blocks in other display representations, continue from step 5.
10. Click OK.
