Placing Drawings on Sheets

You can place drawings on sheets. All sheets on which you place drawings created from the BIM model are listed in the drawings list, under the Sheets branch. All drawings that you placed on the sheet appear under the corresponding sheet.

When you place a drawing on a sheet, the software automatically places drawing callout symbol and drawing title under the drawing.

Drawing Callouts

Callout symbols call other drawings that are already placed on the same or other sheets.

Also calls out drawings that have been created but have not yet been placed on any sheet.

The software automatically fills the drawing sheet and drawing number fields in drawing callout symbols.

Drawing Titles

When you place a drawing on a sheet, the software automatically places drawing title under the drawing. The drawing title contains drawing name, scale, sheet number, and drawing number. The software fills in the drawing title's sheet number from the name of the sheet tab. You can change the drawing number in the Properties palette. After modifying the drawing number value in the drawing title, the software replicates that number in all drawing callout symbols on all sheets that call that drawing's title.
