Associative Detail View
Detail views show an enlarged area of geometry or a dimensioned part that
is not clearly visible in the original view. Use the Detail command to create
linked views at different scales and place them in model space or in the layout.
The geometry in the detail view is associative to the original view. If you
change the original view, the program updates the associative detail view. If
you change the associative detail view, the program updates the original view.
In the following image, a detail view shows its geometry two times larger than
its original view. Continuing from the previous title block insertion, use the
AMDETAIL command to create a detail view and place it on the Layout tab.
