To Share a View
Important: The shared view is created from the current view of the open file. Before uploading, make sure you are sharing only the information you want to be made public.
- Open the model you want to share a view of.
- Click
(Shared Views) in the Toolbar.
- In the Shared Views list, click New Shared View.
- Enter a name for the shared view.
- Define the extent of the shared view.
You can use the entire model, define minimum and maximum X and Y coordinates, interactively define the extent in canvas, or load extents from a file.
- Navigate to the desired view and click Set Home Position, or accept the default.
- Choose whether to share bookmarks and properties in the shared view.
- Bookmarks: If you checkmark this option, bookmarks from your model that are within the extent of the shared view will be included.
- Properties: If you checkmark this option, properties of model assets within the shared view extent will be included. Anyone with access to your shared view will be able to review this data.
- Select Share to create a link to a visual representation of the model in Autodesk Viewer.
A pop-up window provides the link to the shared view in Autodesk Viewer. This makes it easy for you to send the link to your collaborators.
Important: The compressed file generated for a shared view cannot be larger that 2GB. A message displays if the shared view for the specified model extents is too large. To reduce the size of the generated file, modify the extents of the view in the model, and try creating the shared view again.
