Setting Up a Plan/Profile Sheet Style
A sheet style is a 1:1 scale paper space sheet template that typically
contains a border, a title block, viewports, frames, and label styles.
You can customize a sheet style by creating frames and associating
label styles with the frames.
Key Concepts
■
You work on sheet styles in paper space (layout mode).
■
Each plan/profile or plan sheet style has viewports to display plan
and profile views of the drawing.
■
Section sheets do not use viewports. They use a view frame to
display sections.
■
Sample sheet styles are included. You can load these sheet styles
and customize them, or you can create a sheet style by drawing
viewports and frames.
