Before placing a drawing view for a volume drawing, you must have a View Style. See Define View Style Command (Tools Menu) in the Drawings and Reports Reference Data.

  1. Right-click a volume drawing component in the Management Console, and then click Edit Template on the shortcut menu.

  2. Select a template on the Select Template Dialog and click OK. The drawing template opens in the SmartSketch Drawing Editor.

  3. Click Place Drawing View on the toolbar.

  4. Click a point on the drawing sheet to define the first corner of a rectangle, and hold the mouse button down while dragging the mouse diagonally. Release the button at a second point. The drawing view highlights on the drawing and the Drawing View Properties Dialog displays.

    SHARED Tip You can use PinPoint ( or ) to place views precisely.

  5. Define the necessary information on the View Tab (Drawing View Properties Dialog) Name and Description boxes.

  6. In the Style box, select a view style.

  7. In the Orientation box, select an orientation such as Looking Plan.

  8. In the Scale box, select a scale, or choose Custom and define the values in the boxes to the right.

    • If you choose Custom, you must type values that are greater than zero in the boxes at the right.

    • The software converts the values that you type to the default unit of measure. For example, if you type values of 1 in to 1 ft, the software might convert those values to mm.

  9. Specify additional information as necessary on the Format Tab (Drawing View Properties Dialog), and click OK. Save the file and exit the SmartSketch Drawing Editor.

  • To associate volumes with the view, switch to the Space Management task and click one of the Place Drawing Volumes commands.

  • You can resize a drawing view by dragging its handles.

  • You cannot undo a drawing view delete operation. A message box displays when you press Delete for a selected view, providing a chance to cancel the operation.
