Sheet Formats, Sheets,
and Views
Ownership of items in drawings is dependent on what is active when the
item is created. Sketch entities, notes, and other items can belong to
the drawing sheet, to an individual view, or to the drawing sheet format.
In general, you must activate the owner of an item in order to edit the
item.
NOTE: Dimensions and annotations
that are attached to model geometry are exceptions to this rule. They
belong to the view where they are attached, regardless of whether the
view is active when you create the item.
For example, you can activate a view, and create a construction line
that belongs to the view. If you move or delete the view, the construction
line is moved or deleted also.
You can create the same construction line on the sheet, when no view
is active. However, if you move or delete the views on the sheet, the
construction line is not affected.
Similarly, you must activate the sheet format to edit any items that
are owned by the sheet format. While the sheet format is active, the sheet
is hidden, including all the items that belong to the sheet, and all the
views.
