Changing the View Definitions Layer
You can specify the layer the view definitions are placed on when you lay out a
sheet series. A view definition is a rectangle that surrounds the part of the plan
or profile that is displayed on one sheet in the series. View definitions are
created when you lay out the sheet series.
To change the view definitions layer
1 From the Sheet Manager menu, choose Settings to display the Settings dialog
box.
2 Under Layers, do one of the following to specify the view definitions layer:
n
Type the layer for the view definitions in the View Definitions edit box.
n
Click Select to open the Pick Layer Name dialog box, and then from the
Layer Name list box, select the layer you want. If the specified layer does not
exist, then it is created when needed.
3 Click OK to exit the Pick Layer Name dialog box.
4 Click OK to exit the Settings dialog box.
In the following illustration, the view definitions (rectangles) are displayed on
the plan view of the alignment. You can move a view definition if it doesnt
cover the area of the alignment that you want plotted on a sheet, as shown:

Changing the Model Space Match Line Layer
You can specify which layer the model space match lines are placed on.
If you select the option in the Sheet Manager Settings to Draw MS Match Lines,
then match lines are drawn in model space along the alignment to indicate the
divisions between sheets. The match lines indicate where the corresponding
profile sheet begins and ends. These match lines are intended to be used as
references for working with the sheet layout, but you can also plot them.
