You can insert a new view frame into a view frame group.
In most cases, the new view frame is inserted before the selected view frame.
You can insert a new view frame by
- right-clicking on a view frame and clicking Insert View Frame
- entering the InsertViewFrame command and specifying an insertion point in the drawing
Each of these methods is described below.
Right-clicking on a View Frame and Clicking Insert View Frame
When you insert a new view frame by right-clicking on an existing view frame and clicking Insert View Frame, or if you use the InsertViewFrame command and select an existing view frame, the new view frame is inserted as follows:
- If there is no gap (blank space) between the selected view frame and its previous view frame, the new view frame is inserted before the selected view frame (towards the beginning of the alignment).
- If there is a gap (blank space) between the selected view frame and its previous view frame, the new view frame is inserted by finding the center (at the alignment) of the two match lines, and inserting the new view frame centered on this point. If the selected view frame is the first view frame in the view frame group, and therefore, has no left match line, a new left match line is created.
Specifying an Insertion Point in Drawing
When you insert a new view frame by using the InsertViewFrame command and you enter S to specify an insertion location, the following rules are used:
- If the selected point is a valid location for a view frame, the new view frame is inserted, centered in the selected point.
- If the selected point is not a valid location for a view frame, a message indicates that the location is not valid for view frame insertion, and the new view frame is not inserted.
A valid location is some other point along the alignment, or close to the alignment.
To insert a view frame into a view frame group
- In the drawing area, right-click on a view frame and click Insert View Frame.
