Modifying a General View

  1. Select the view.
  2. Modify the values in the Properties panel, or right-click and select a style from the mini-toolbar. Change the:

    • Orientation to change the orientation of the view to isometric, trimetric, or any side. If you change the orientation of a general view from which projected views were created, the orientation of the projected views also change.

    • Rendering mode to change the graphics style for the view. Select Inherit if you want to link the graphics style to the drawing sheet.

    • Scale to magnify or shrink the view. When you change the scale, the Type property changes to Independent from sheet. You can select Linked to sheet to set the scale to be the same as the scale used for the drawing sheet.

  3. You can also adjust the appearance of your design on the drawing sheet by using the:

    • Snap View tool to correctly position the design.

    • Move tool to position the design more accurately.

    When you modify the orientation of a general view, any views dependent on the general view are oriented simultaneously. Other general views do not change.
