■ Use drawing formats with predefined views.
To make sheet formats available to new drawings, create them in a template
file that you use to create new drawings. Define a sheet for each sheet type
you use.
■ Use the Select filters.
In addition to the Edge, Feature, and Part filters, you can specify various
drawing elements for the Select filter.
■ Drawing formats override units of measure.
If components in an assembly have different units, the drawing format
overrides them. The model dimensions have consistent units in the drawing
environment.
■ Use templates to maintain drawing standards and ensure consistent title
blocks and borders among drawings. Add other information in templates
that does not change, such as company logos.
■ Use the default border to ensure that the border resizes if the sheet size
changes.
■ Use formats to save the sheet size, title block, border, and views on the
sheet for quick layouts.
You cannot save section, auxiliary, or detail views in a format.
■ Select multiple objects within a drawing or within a drawing view using
a selection or containing window.
■ Move a drawing view by clicking and dragging the border.
