View to Sheet Positioning & Automated Placement

View to Sheet Positioning is useful when you have numerous similar plan orientation views, and you want them to align and stay coordinated between sheets. Or you have typical layouts, such as building wall sections, that you want to be placed at the same offset for multiple sheets.

Use Saved View Positions

When any placed view is selected, use the Modify | Viewports tab Positioning & View panel commands to save, edit, and manage positions on a sheet.

Save Position

To save a view position on a sheet click Modify | Viewports tab Positioning & View panel Save Position, or use the right-click menu.

The saved position can be assigned to any number of views to keep them coordinated across sheets:

To align views across sheets when assigned to a Saved Position, in the Positioning & View panel use the View Anchor settings:

View Origin:

Center, Top Left, Top Right, Bottom Right, Bottom Left options:

Edit Position

To revise a Saved Position, click Edit Position in the Positioning & View panel, or use the right-click menu. This enters an edit mode where you can modify the position of a placed view, and also the specified View Anchor option if you want. When finished, click Finish to save the changes, or Cancel to exit the edit mode without saving the changes.

When complete, all other placed views assigned to the same Saved Position are coordinated.

Swap View on Sheet Integration

The existing Swap View on Sheet functionality has been integrated into these workflows as follows:

Revit supports swapping to views assigned to a Saved Position.

Manage Positions

Click Manage Positions in the Positioning and View panel to open the Manage Positions dialog, which lists all the Saved Positions in the current model. You can use it to rename and delete Saved Positions.

Transfer Project Standards

Saved Positions can be transferred between models using Transfer Project Standards View Saved Positions.

This will transfer all Saved Positions into the specified model. Revit will check for matching Saved Position names, as well as the values defined in each, and prompt to overwrite if applicable.

Reset Title Block Positions

Use Reset Title Block Positions to move placed title block instances on sheets back to the default origin.

This command is available when multiple title block instances or multiple sheets from the project browser are selected.

Behavior for views that can appear on multiple sheets:

View Title Behavior for Saved Position Assigned Views:

For views assigned to a Saved Position, there are two options for how view titles will automatically update when there are changes to the view position. The existing Preserve Title Position viewport type parameter determines this behavior:

Regardless of the parameter setting, view titles can always be manually adjusted.
