Creating a New Plan/Profile Sheet in the Paper
Space of an Existing Drawing
To create a plan/profile sheet in an existing drawing
1 Complete steps 111 of Creating a New Plan/Profile Sheet In a Separate
Drawing in this chapter.
2 Choose File ä Open to open the existing drawing if it is not already open.
3 Switch to paper space.
4 Draw the sheet border using the RECTANGLE command, or insert a pre-defined
border block using the DDINSERT command.
5 Use the MVIEW or the Create Viewport command to create the plan and profile
viewports.
6 Set the viewport categories and set the viewport view scales. For more
information, see Setting the Viewport View Scales in this chapter.
7 Draw the frames where you want the labels to appear. For more information,
see Working with Frames in this chapter.
8 Draw the view frames around each viewport.
9 Attach label styles to the frames.
WARNING!
If you plan to use a sheet style with another project, then do not
define a sheet style template in the current working drawing. Layers
in the current working drawing are carried over to the next project
in which you apply the sheet style. Once the layers exist in a project,
it is difficult to remove them.
Creating a New Profile-Only Sheet Style
You can begin creating a new profile-only sheet by using an existing sheet style
drawing and modifying it, or you can start from scratch by drawing a border,
viewports, and frames. You can create a new sheet style in a separate drawing,
whichmakes it easier to edit the sheet and transfer data to other people. For
example, if you create a new drawing in a new project for your sheet style, then
you can give the entire project folder to the person with whom you want to
share the sheet style.
To create a new profile sheet style
1 Choose a method for creating, opening, and editing sheet style drawings. For
more information, see Creating a New Sheet Style in this chapter.
2 You can create the sheet style in a separate drawing.
3 Create a new drawing in a new project. If the sheet is a profile sheet at 50 scale,
then you may want to name the drawing something like prof50.dwg. The
project name can be something like Sheet Styles.
4 Switch to paper space.
5 In Windows Explorer, create a unique folder under the c:\Program Files\Land
Desktop R2\data\sheets folder for your new sheet style. You may want to name
the folder after the client you are working for or the project you are working on,
for example, Company X.
