Use the Positioning & View panel under the Modify | Viewports to save, revise and manage view positions on a sheet.
Use Saved View PositionsTo align views across sheets, use the View Anchor options:
- View Origin (default): to pin and maintain view positions on sheets relative to the View Origin. This method is useful when you want to align plan orientation views between sheets.
- Center / Top Left / Top Right / Bottom Right / Bottom Left options, to pin and maintain view positions on sheets relative to the specified View Anchor. This method is useful when you always want views to be positioned at a specific location on the sheet, such as near a title block corner.
View to Sheet Positioning is useful for cases where 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.
The existing Swap View on Sheet functionality has been integrated into these workflows as follows:- The legacy Viewport Positioning parameter has been merged with the View Anchor parameter.
- View Anchor = View Origin is the default for all views.
- Views with the crop region supported and enabled can use View Anchor = Center, as well as the same additional new anchor options Top Left / Top Right / Bottom Right / Bottom Left.
A new supporting command, Reset Title Block Positions, has been added in the right-click menu of Sheets in the Project Browser, to move the 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.
This feature was suggested by customers on the Ideas forum (in
Align Views on Separate Sheets and
More control over view placement on sheets) and is described on the
product road map.
