Setting Standard Viewport Preferences

Stories must be created before creating standard viewports (see Setting Up the Building Structure with Stories). The default viewport scale and sheet border settings can be set prior to adding standard viewports to a project.

To set viewport preferences:

1. Select File > Document Settings > Create Standard Viewports.

The Create Standard Viewports dialog box opens.

2. Click Preferences.

The Create Viewport Preferences dialog box opens. The preferences apply as viewports are added to the list for inclusion in the project.

3. Set the default scale for each type of viewport; select a sheet border and, if desired, title block to add automatically to each sheet layer. The scale settings affect only the viewport scale, not the layer scale of any model layers. See Adding a Sheet Border for more information on sheet borders.

4. Click OK to return to the Create Standard Viewports dialog box.
