Creating Layouts

You can create layouts using the Layouts tool.

This information is specific to one or more CAD systems. See the eDrawings Functionality Matrix for availability information.

To create a layout:

In the graphics area, select a drawing view.
Click Sheets > Layouts or View > Create Layout .
The graphics area now shows only the selected view. Layout1 appears on the Sheets pane as the active layout.
Add views by dragging and dropping them to the layout.

Creating Layouts of Entire Drawing Sheets

To create a layout of an entire drawing sheet:

With the drawing sheet active, select a view in the graphics area. Make a note of the view name.
Press Delete.
A layout sheet containing all the views (except the view you deleted) opens in the graphics area.
Select the view that you deleted on the Sheets pane, then drag it into the graphics area of the layout.
The layout contains all the views.
