  1. Double-click a drawing view's border to open the drawing view.

  2. Make the required changes to the drawing view.

  3. Click File > Update to save the changes.

  4. Click File > Close.

  5. Repeat the steps above as required for all other views.

  6. Save and close the document.

The changes that are saved include:

  • Layer-related changes (creating new layers, modifying a graphic's layer, and changing how layers are displayed using the Display Manager Dialog).

  • Using the Drawing Editor to sketch new graphics, copy intelligent graphics, add text boxes, place fills, or place symbols.

When a drawing view is opened, the new window is maximized to fit the graphics within the view. Like the Scaled Sketching command, the sheet scale changes to match the view scale. If the view scale is not Fit to Scale, manual graphics drawn outside of the rectangle, enclosing the graphics within the view, are not visible after the next update.

  • Particular changes made to intelligent graphics affects what is retained when a drawing view is updated:

    • Copies of intelligent graphics are treated as manual graphics.

    • When no graphic rule is specified for a filter, or when the graphic rule does not specify a layer, intelligent graphics are placed onto the Default layer.

    • Intelligent graphics remain intelligent graphics after their layer is changed. If the corresponding 3D object is deleted, the layer change operation is lost.

    • It is recommended that you include any dimensions or leaders in the drawing sheet, instead of the drawing view, as dimensions and leaders connected to intelligent graphics are not retained when the view is updated.

    • Intelligent graphics that are deleted will reappear after the drawing view is updated. Select Hide HideCommandIcon to temporarily remove intelligent graphics.
