Use view frame group settings to specify the default behavior for plan production tool commands.
Settings are handled in a standard way throughout AutoCAD Civil 3D. You access settings using the ToolspaceSettings tree. You can control settings at three levels: the drawing level, the object collection (feature) level, and the command level. For more information, see Understanding Civil 3D Settings.
Use the Settings tree View Frame Group collection context menu to establish defaults for all plan production tool commands. You can change plan production tool-specific settings at this level, or override the drawing ambient settings.
Use the Commands collection in the View Frame Group collection to change plan production tool settings for a specific command.
The topics in this section describe only those settings that affect plan production tool-related commands. They do not apply to the drawing ambient settings that you can change at the View Frame Group collection level and the View Frame Group command level, even though those settings are displayed in the Edit Feature Settings - View Frame Group dialog box. For more information about the drawing ambient settings, see Specifying Ambient Settings.
