Use the plan production tool creation and naming settings in the View Frame Group Settings dialog box to change plan production tool settings before you create view frames or sheets.

For example, before using the Create View Frames wizard, you should specify the default choices you want to use for plan production object names (object name format) and label styles. This will set your defaults for plan production objects (view frame groups, view frames, and match lines).

If a closed lock appears in the Lock column for a property, the property is locked at a higher level of the Settings tree. It cannot be changed at this level.

If you change a property value, a check mark is placed in the Override column. This override is also noted in the property table for related objects higher up the Settings tree, where an arrow is displayed in the Child Override column.

Click Apply.
